Suicide among students enrolled in post-secondary education, including university or college, is a major public health concern. Previous research has examined the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs for this population. However, the effective elements of these interventions remain unknown. This study reviewed the literature on suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students, exploring and identifying those elements likely contributing to their effectiveness. A scoping review process was undertaken exploring suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students. Methodological quality of the articles was assessed, and content analysis was used to explore the programs and their effective elements. Twenty seven articles were included in this review, covering a variety of approaches. Gatekeeper training programs were the most common type of suicide prevention program. Programs for post-secondary students may be effective in improving student rates of engagement with mental health services and were associated with greater knowledge, and help-seeking attitudes and behaviors, and gatekeeper-related outcomes. While evidence was found supporting the effectiveness of some interventions such as gatekeeper programs to influence suicide-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, further and more rigorous research surrounding suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students is required, with a particular emphasis on student outcomes.

“…Qualitatively, the main themes regarding interactions with individuals in distress or crisis were categorized in terms of skill utilization, giving directions, emotional comfort, and perceived barriers (Reiff et al, 2018). Another study combining gatekeeper training with mental health lectures and Skills Training on Risk Management (STROM) demonstrated significant outcomes (Gask et al, 2017). Gatekeeper training through online open courses using the "talk-to-Me" Mass Open Online Course (MOOC), combining specific content and resources, yielded significant efficacy in enhancing students' ability to respond to suicide and mental health issues (Milbourn et al, 2022).…”

immediate prevention efforts. It is the second leading cause of death among college students aged 15-29. To this day, mental health issues decrease students' academic achievement—while less help and treatment are given. This review aims to identify the available literature regarding professional interventions for campus suicide prevention, and preferences for suicide crisis service support options among college students. Method: Data were based on Scopus, Science Direct, Wiley, and EBSCO using some keywords such as intervention, suicide prevention, and college student. This review applied Preferred Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) to analyze 15 articles extracted from the database with a specific criterion published in the last five years (2018-2022). Results: The results point out that an effective intervention to prevent suicide among college students is a gatekeeper training program. Gatekeeper training programs by providing mental health lectures and lectures, discussions, role plays, online open course modules, and messages via email or telephone involving lecturers, staff, campus security, and students provide positive results in efforts to prevent suicide. Students most frequently choose social assistance—that is, help from friends, parents, and lecturers—as well as counseling or psychiatric treatments for their mental health needs. Conclusion: Providing mental health information to gatekeepers through lectures, discussions, role-play training, online open course modules, and messages via email or telephone involving lecturers, staff, campus security, and students has provided positive results in suicide prevention efforts.

“…Six articles featured qualitative and quantitative evaluation of workshops, interventions, or course experiences offered to student or professional audiences. Features include strong quantitative evidence of effectiveness of the applied suicide intervention skills training model with practicing school personnel (Shannonhouse, Lin, Shaw, & Porter, 2017) and preliminary quantitative evidence supporting STORM suicide gatekeeper training in the United Kingdom (Gask, Coupe, McElvenny, & Green, 2017). Several researchers found mixed‐methods evidence to support effectiveness of a responsive training intervention focused on needs of LGBT clients or students (Luke & Goodrich, 2017; Rivers & Swank, 2017).…”
