Overview

Adolescents appear to benefit from suicide prevention narratives videos, according to a recent study published in the European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

Youth suicide is a major public health problem in many countries and ranks consistently among the three most common causes of death among young people. Consequently, considerable attention has been given to how youth suicide might best be combatted. One promising intervention path is media interventions. Suicide prevention videos featuring young people's personal narratives of hope and recovery are increasingly used in suicide prevention, but research on their effects is scarce.
