TL;DR: The potential efficacy of the experimental school-based prevention program was demonstrated, however, the necessary and sufficient strategies for suicide prevention need further study as the assessment-only group, who received limited prevention elements, showed improvements similar to those of the Experimental groups.

TL;DR: The program appeared to stem the progression of drug use, but group differences only approached significance, and program efficacy was demonstrated particularly for decreasing drug control problems and consequences; increasing GPA and school bonding; and desired changes in self-esteem and deviant peer bonding.

TL;DR: The roles of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness as mediators between known risk factors and suicidal behaviors among 1,287 potential high school dropouts were explored and lack of family support showed indirect influences on suicidal behaviors through anxiety for both males and females.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided of the construct validity and internal consistency reliability of the SBC, a 20-item self-report measure designed to assess body awareness and bodily dissociation in mind-body intervention research.

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical multiple regression was used to examine the moderating effect of family support on the relationship between self-esteem and suicide risk behaviors among potential high school dropouts (N = 849), using questionnaires and in-depth assessment interviews.
