An Evaluation of Postvention Following Adolescent Suicide
Abstract
This study sought to evaluate postvention provided to two schools following student suicides. A risk index for suicidal behavior among exposed adolescents was devised. The index clearly differentiated high (n = 272) and low (n = 534) scorers on a range of outcome variables. While two‐thirds of students attending postvention counselling had two or more putative risk factors for suicidal behavior, a further 231 uncounselled students had similar risk scores. Counselled students (n = 63) did not differ from matched controls (n = 63) at 8‐month follow‐up on a range of outcome variables. Measures to improve future postvention are discussed.

The other three studies were conducted in the Netherlands, Australia, and Belgium.
“The other three were conducted in the Netherlands [41, 42], Australia [43], and Belgium [44].”
Most studies involved interventions that targeted adult populations, but three tested interventions aimed at children or adolescents.
“Most studies involved interventions that targeted adult populations, but three tested interventions aimed at children or adolescents [38, 39, 43].”
The duration of the intervention varied from one session in one study to a series of 16 therapeutic sessions delivered over 20 weeks in another.

Six studies tested the effectiveness of a group intervention, including a group/school-based intervention.
“Six studies tested the effectiveness of a group intervention [33–36, 39], including a group/school-based intervention [43].”
No effect on internalization, externalization, depression, risk behavior or drug and alcohol consumption was found in the only school-based intervention included in the review.
“No effect on internalization, externalization, depression, risk behavior or drug and alcohol consumption was found in the only school-based intervention included in the current review [43].”
The ineffective interventions with a passive comparator comprised shorter interventions (one and four sessions, respectively), and focused on complicated grief.
“The ineffective interventions with a passive comparator [43, 44] comprised shorter interventions (one and four sessions, respectively), and focused on complicated grief [44].”
It remains unclear which intervention modalities delivered in particular settings, such as schools, participants' own homes or clinical settings, are most helpful for suicide survivors across a range of age, gender and/or national/cultural groups.

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.
