Three-hundred ninety-three adolescents from six schools participated in a study aimed at examining the effectiveness of an experiential suicide prevention program with regard to suicidal tendencies, hopelessness, ego identity, and coping ability. The subjects were randomly divided into experimental (n = 215) and control (n = 178) groups. The experimental groups took part in seven weekly 2-hour meetings. The program was based on the notion that a gradual, controlled confrontation and exploration of inner experiences and life difficulties related to suicidal behavior accompanied by an emphasis on coping strategies can immunize against self-destructive feelings. In this pretest-posttest design, the students completed questionnaires of suicidal tendencies, hopelessness, ego identity, and coping ability before and after the program. The statistical analyses showed that the experimental groups were superior to the controls, with at least some of the dependent measures pointing out the effectiveness of the program.
来自六所学校的393名青少年参与了一项研究，该研究旨在检验一项体验式自杀预防项目在自杀倾向、绝望感、自我认同和应对能力方面的效果。研究对象被随机分为实验组（n = 215）和对照组（n = 178）。实验组参加了为期七周、每周两小时的会议。该项目基于这样一种理念，即对与自杀行为相关的内心体验和生活困难进行逐步、可控的对抗和探索，并强调应对策略，可以抵御自我毁灭的情绪。在这个前测-后测设计中，学生们在项目前后完成了关于自杀倾向、绝望感、自我认同和应对能力的问卷调查。统计分析表明，实验组优于对照组，至少一些相关测量指标表明了该项目的有效性。
