We should focus suicide prevention resources mainly on the adolescent population with psychiatric illness, prior suicide attempts, and with high risk factors.
Therefore, this approach is recommended as the integrated suicide-violence prevention strategy for adolescents.
Identifying which adolescents are at risk for suicide attempts from the presence of accompanying risk behaviors will help clinicians to evaluate suicide risk when other problem behaviors are identified, thus enabling the design of possible prevention strategies.

Proper screening, assessment, and crisis planning can help identify at-risk individuals and save lives. Pediatricians play a crucial role in intervening with youth before or after the onset of suicidal behaviors, using primary and secondary prevention strategies. Universal suicide risk screening programs in medical settings can help identify youth who may otherwise go undetected. Equipping families of at-risk youth with safety plans and lethal means safety counseling is important.

What is the clinical effectiveness of suicide prevention interventions implemented at primary care settings for adolescents?5 answersSuicide prevention interventions implemented in primary care settings have shown clinical effectiveness for adolescents. These interventions include training and educating healthcare providers, screening and suicide risk assessment, managing depression symptoms and mental disorders, managing suicide attempters and at-risk cases, and prevention strategies for the general population. Brief screeners have been found to effectively identify youths with elevated suicide/self-harm risk, and treatments such as dialectical behavior therapy have shown efficacy in reducing self-harm behavior. Additionally, community-based suicide prevention strategies have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing suicide mortality and attempt rates. Information and communication technology (ICT)-based interventions, such as computerized interventions and applications, have also been implemented in clinical settings for suicide prevention, targeting patients actively presenting with suicide risk. However, there is a need for further research to strengthen the evidence base and support the implementation and sustainability of these interventions in clinical settings.
