Suicide prevention and depression apps’ suicide risk assessment and management: a systematic assessment of adherence to clinical guidelines
Overview
This systematic assessment evaluates how well depression and suicide prevention mobile apps adhere to six evidence-based clinical guidelines for managing suicide risk. The study analyzed 69 apps from major app stores, examining features such as mood tracking, safety planning, and access to emergency support. It highlights that while most apps provide some form of crisis contact information, a small minority incorporate all recommended strategies, and some offer incorrect helpline numbers.
