“…This form was completed anonymously by students during class time, scored privately by students themselves, and returned to the teacher or school counselor administering the program.

“…In these studies, high school students randomly assigned to an intervention group showed a significantly lower rate of suicide attempts, as well as increased knowledge and adaptive attitudes towards depression and suicide compared to those assigned to a control group. Three additional studies reported the effectiveness of promoting suicide awareness by depicting suicide as a problem, as well as by describing clinical features of suicidal adolescents, including the need to seek professional help with particular focus on the value of support networks in alleviating stress, as well as by promoting problem-solving techniques [49][50][51] .

The present study reviews the literature on suicide prevention programs conducted in the workplace and other settings, namely school, the community, medical facilities, jail, and the army, by conducting an electronic literature search of all articles published between 1967 and November 2007. From a total of 256 articles identified, various contents of suicide prevention programs were determined, and in 34 studies, the effect of programs was evaluated. A review of the literature reveals that the common contents of suicide prevention programs in the workplace and other settings are education and training of individuals, development of a support network, cooperation from internal and external resources, as well as education and training of managers and staff. Although the characteristic contents of suicide prevention programs at the workplace aimed at improving personnel management and health care, screening and care for high-risk individuals, as well as improvement of building structures, were not described. Although a reduction in undesirable attitudes and an increase in mental health knowledge and coping skills in the workplace are in agreement with findings in other settings, suicide rate, suicide-associated behavior, and depression, which were assessed in other settings, were not evaluated in the three studies targeting the workplace.
