Abstract

Suicide is presented as one of the most important public health problems in the young and adolescent population, with few reviews. The objective is to carry out a systematic review of clinical, psychosocial and educational interventions for the prevention of suicide in adolescents and adults. youths. A search was performed in three journal search and indexing databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Sciences) that examine the scientific evidence according to the principles established in the protocol of the systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021242348). As results, 34 studies were included that show the influence of clinical treatments based on the cognitive model, training and motivational support in the educational intervention to increase the scope of the interventions and their follow-up. Some aspects of the quality of these programs, the difference in prevention actions in different geographical regions, and the most used programs are discussed.
