We examined the effectiveness of the Signs of Suicide (SOS) prevention program in reducing suicidal behavior.
Twenty-one hundred students in 5 high schools in Columbus, Ga, and Hartford, Conn, were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by students in both groups approximately 3 months after program implementation.
Significantly lower rates of suicide attempts and greater knowledge and more adaptive attitudes about depression and suicide were observed among students in the intervention group. The modest changes in knowledge and attitudes partially explained the beneficial effects of the program.
SOS is the first school-based suicide prevention program to demonstrate significant reductions in self-reported suicide attempts.
我们研究了自杀迹象(SOS)预防项目在减少自杀行为方面的有效性。
佐治亚州哥伦布市和康涅狄格州哈特福德市5所高中的2100名学生被随机分为干预组和对照组。两组学生在项目实施约3个月后自行填写问卷。
干预组学生的自杀未遂率显著降低,对抑郁症和自杀有更多的了解及更适应性的态度。知识和态度的适度变化部分解释了该项目的有益效果。
SOS是首个显示出自报自杀未遂显著减少的校内自杀预防项目。
