What Works in Youth Suicide Prevention? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates 99 studies on interventions designed to reduce suicide-related behaviors in young people across clinical, educational, and community settings. The authors report that large-scale interventions in clinical and educational environments appear to reduce self-harm and suicidal ideation post-intervention, while multi-faceted approaches show impact in community settings. The resource highlights significant gaps in research coverage, particularly regarding low-middle income countries, specific at-risk demographics, and primary care or university contexts.
