We are doing a multiple-case study of youth live suicidal behaviors online and trying to figure out possible prevention. For live suicidal behaviors, we mean suicidal behaviors on social media, posting the suicide process lively. Anybody could recommend us some relevant reference? If you could provide some articles on mutilple-case study, that would be perfect!

Dear Wei,
I have done some research on this, articles below, and it is of course a complex area. It sounds like you are looking for case studies, examples of what suicidal people posted and how. Some of the above articles are decent, some not so much. Here is a newspaper report on this: Grenoble, R. (2012, October 11). Amanda Todd: Bullied Canadian teen commits suicide after prolonged battle online and in school. The Huffington Post,. Retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/11/amanda-todd-suicide-bullying_n_1959909.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
And a more academic approach to the same topic:
Lester, D., McSwain, S., & Gunn Iii, J. F. (2013). Suicide and the internet: The case of Amanda Todd. International Journal of Emergency Mental Health, 15(2), 179-180.
However, if you are looking for a more systematic analysis, those are more difficult to find as there are many limitations in this kind of research.
Not sure if you can obtain the full text, maybe contact the lead author, but this is an interesting perspective on the situation:
Li, T. M. H., Ng, B. C. M., Chau, M., Wong, P. W. C., & Yip, P. S. F. (2013) Collective intelligence for suicide surveillance in web forums. Pacific Asia Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics, PAISI 2013: Vol. 8039 LNCS (pp. 29-37). Beijing.
Another interesting study: McSwain, S., Lester, D., & Gunn Iii, J. F. (2012). Warning signs for suicide in internet forums. Psychological Reports, 111(1), 186-188. doi: 10.2466/12.13.pr0.111.4.186-188
Here is some of my work.
A summary and discussion of some of the themes you appear interested in:
Harris, K. M. (2015). Life vs. death: The suicidal mind online. In E. Aboujaoude & V. Starcevic (Eds.), Mental Health in the Digital Age: Grave Dangers, Great Promise (pp. 135-151). New York, NY: Oxford University Press.
A study on suicidal individual's online suicidal behaviors, both positive and negative:
Harris, K. M., McLean, J. P., & Sheffield, J. (2009). Examining suicide-risk individuals who go online for suicide-related purposes. Archives of Suicide Research, 13(3), 264-276. doi: 10.1080/13811110903044419
A study on more everyday online activities that suicidal people engage in:
Harris, K. M., McLean, J. P., & Sheffield, J. (2014). Suicidal and online: How do online behaviors inform us of this high-risk population? Death Studies, 38(6), 387-394. doi: 10.1080/07481187.2013.768313
A more in-depth exploration of the suicidal mind, including online behavior:
Harris, K. M., McLean, J. P., Sheffield, J., & Jobes, D. (2010). The internal suicide debate hypothesis: Exploring the life versus death struggle. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 40(2), 181-192. doi: 10.1521/suli.2010.40.2.181
You can find these on my profile here. Also, please get in touch, would be very happy to discuss your project further!
Good luck,
Keith
