Rapper Logic's song '1-800-273-8255' may have helped prevent a significant number of suicides around the time of its release, according to a new study.
The song's title is the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The study, which looked at data from Jan. 1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2018, found that the tune"was associated with a large increase in calls" to the lifeline, as well as a reduction in suicides.
During the same time the lifeline saw an increase in calls, 245 fewer suicides were reported than would have been expected based on past averages, according to researchers.
