A pilot randomized controlled trial of the alliance project gatekeeper training for suicide prevention
Abstract
Gatekeeper trainings are an approach intended to increase help seeking for suicide prevention. However, little is known of gatekeeper training's function in increasing gatekeeper intent to intervene with those in distress. The current study utilized the theory of planned behavior as a guide to predict gatekeeper's intention to intervene over a six-month period in a pilot randomized controlled trial of the Alliance Project gatekeeper training. Results suggested that the Alliance Project, predicted the growth curve of trainees' intention to intervene better than a control training from pretest through six months. Attitudes toward completing gatekeeper behaviors and perceived behavioral control over gatekeeper behaviors approached significance in a less parsimonious model. These findings suggest the Alliance Project produces changes in gatekeeper's intent to intervene through three months' time.

Intention to intervene for trainees was better, suggesting they would be more likely to intervene, and attitudes were impacted but the finding is not as significant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
