This study tested the efficacy of a school-based prevention program for reducing suicide potential among high-risk youth. A sample of 105 youth at suicide risk participated in a three-group, repeated-measures, intervention study. Participants in (1) an assessment plus 1-semester experimental program, (2) an assessment plus 2-semester experimental program, and (3) an assessment-only group were compared, using data from preintervention, 5-month, and 10-month follow-up assessments. All groups showed decreased suicide risk behaviors, depression, hopelessness, stress, and anger; all groups also reported increased self-esteem and network social support. Increased personal control was observed only in the experimental groups, and not in the assessment-only control group. The potential efficacy of the experimental school-based prevention program was demonstrated. The necessary and sufficient strategies for suicide prevention, however, need further study as the assessment-only group, who received limited prevention elements, showed improvements similar to those of the experimental groups.
本研究测试了一项以学校为基础的预防计划在降低高危青少年自杀可能性方面的效果。105名有自杀风险的青少年参与了一项三组重复测量干预研究。使用干预前、5个月和10个月随访评估的数据，对（1）评估加1个学期实验计划组、（2）评估加2个学期实验计划组和（3）仅评估组的参与者进行了比较。所有组的自杀风险行为、抑郁、绝望、压力和愤怒均有所降低；所有组还报告自尊和网络社会支持有所增加。仅在实验组中观察到个人控制感增强，而在仅评估对照组中未观察到。证明了以学校为基础的实验性预防计划的潜在效果。然而，由于仅评估组（接受有限预防要素）的改善情况与实验组相似，自杀预防的必要和充分策略需要进一步研究。
