Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A total of 3000 students from two junior schools (grade 7 and 8) and two senior schools (grade 10 and 11) in Shanghai Pu Dong district were recruited in our study. All students were randomly assigned into universal study group or universal control group by class level. In those two groups, high risk of suicidal students were identified by screening. A universal suicide intervention was conducted in the universal study group; an indicated suicide intervention was conducted in the indicated study group. All students in universal study group and universal control group completed the self-administered questionnaire before and 6 months after the end of universal intervention. High risk of suicidal students in the indicated study group and indicated control group completed another self-administered questionnaire before, 6 months and 18 months after the end of the indicated intervention.
