VILLALOBOS-GALVIS, Fredy Hernán et al. Prevention of suicidal behavior in school contexts. A review of types of intervention. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.143, pp.217-236.  Epub July 31, 2023. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352023000100012.

Suicide is a public health problem that occurs at increasingly younger ages, for this reason it is important to develop promotion and prevention's strategies and programs in different contexts such as education. This systematic review presents basic information about programs or strategies for the prevention of suicidal behavior in school contexts, published in the scientific literature (years 2008 to 2020). The search was carried out in the following databases: EBSCO, BVS, Dialnet, Lilacs, Google Académico, Redalyc and Scielo. It was found that prevention programs and strategies aimed at raising awareness, information, training (of gatekeeper and psychoeducation), development, screening or therapeutic intervention, as well as some multimodal interventions that articulate the previous strategies, have been developed. It is concluded that there is a wide range of intervention proposals that can be considered by educational or mental health professionals for the effective prevention of suicidal behavior in schools.
