|
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile application for adolescent suicide prevention through a systematic review.
Methods: Three different search engines namely RISS, PubMed, and EMBASE were searched and studies were included if they contained primary search terms ‘adolescents’, ‘suicide’, and ‘application’. Six (6) articles were finally included. Each function of applications was examined by its effectiveness.
Results: Psychotherapy was the most common function and both crisis helplines and safety planning were the second most frequent. However, there was little support for the evidence of each functions.
Conclusion: While mobile technology has become a useful means of health interventions, there was a lack of studies on adolescent suicide prevention using mobile applications. The evidence-based approaches of suicide prevention for adolescents are required with the consideration of an individual’s risk factors.
