Objective: to identify preventive interventions for suicidal behavior in adolescent students and young people different from the Guardians model.
Methodology: systematic review with search in 11 databases, on preventive interventions for suicidal ideation and attempt in educational settings. An evaluation of the methodological quality of the articles and assessment of biases were carried out, through the Cochrane RCT risk of bias tool RoB1 for clinical trials, TREND for quasi-experiments and Ciapponi for observational ones; qualitative synthesis was performed.
Results: 26 articles out of 31,636 were included, with face-to-face and virtual educational interventions aimed at increasing knowledge and improving attitudes about suicide and facilitating help-seeking; programs that combined theoretical and practical education on suicidal behavior; and direct intervention programs for high-risk subjects that showed significant reductions in suicidal ideation and attempt. All done at school or university. Regarding the assessment of biases, only one study had low quality. All studies reported positive results in increased knowledge about suicide, improved attitudes towards suicidal peers, reduced suicidal ideation and attempt, increased help-seeking, and use of support services available in the setting. educational.
Conclusion: there is a variety of interventions to prevent suicidal behavior, some based on theoretical models, others not. It is necessary to deepen the study of these programs to guide their implementation in other contexts and decision-making in Public Health.
