Many school-based suicide prevention programs do not show a positive impact on help-seeking behaviors among emotionally troubled teens despite their being at high risk for suicide. This study is a secondary analysis of the Surviving the Teens(®) program evaluation to determine its effect on help-seeking behaviors among troubled youth. Results showed significant increases in mean scores of the Behavioral Intent to Communicate with Important Others Regarding Emotional Health Issues subscale (p < .0005) from pretest to 3-month follow-up. There was a significant increase (p = .006) in mean scores of the Behavioral Intent Regarding Help-Seeking Behaviors when Suicidal subscale from pretest to posttest, but not at 3-month follow-up. Also, there was a significant increase (p = .016) in mean scores in the item "I would tell an adult if I was suicidal" from pretest to 3-month follow-up. These findings suggest that the Surviving the Teens program has a positive effect on help-seeking behaviors in troubled youth.
许多以学校为基础的自杀预防项目，尽管那些情绪困扰青少年有很高的自杀风险，但对他们寻求帮助行为并没有产生积极影响。本研究是对“青少年生存”（®）项目评估的二次分析，以确定其对问题青少年寻求帮助行为的影响。结果显示，从预测试到3个月随访，关于与重要他人就情绪健康问题进行沟通的行为意向子量表的平均得分显著增加（p < .0005）。从预测试到后测试，关于自杀时寻求帮助行为的行为意向子量表的平均得分显著增加（p = .006），但在3个月随访时没有增加。此外，从预测试到3个月随访，“如果我有自杀倾向我会告诉成年人”这一项目的平均得分显著增加（p = .016）。这些发现表明，“青少年生存”项目对问题青少年的寻求帮助行为有积极影响。
