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.
