Suicide in young people has been receiving increasing attention as it is one of the leading causes of death in youth. Growing efforts at suicide prevention have led to a number of different approaches being studied in research settings and applied in the real world. Because it is hard to predict who is at risk of suicide, some researchers have aimed their interventions in educational settings, where they can access a broad range of young people. This research bulletin summarises findings from research studies and reviews that have focussed on intervening in educational settings in order to prevent youth suicide.
