Formative Evaluation of Suicide Prevention Websites for Men: Qualitative Study with Men at Risk of Suicide and with Potential Gatekeepers

Formative Evaluation of Suicide Prevention Websites for Men: Qualitative Study with Men at Risk of Suicide and with Potential Gatekeepers

Men seem to be less likely to seek professional or informal help and less likely to communicate directly to their closest contacts about suicidal intentions; however, they still show signs of change (eg, further self-isolation, sudden anger, or hopelessness) before the suicide, which makes gatekeeper interventions all the more important [13,14]. Training gatekeepers on how to approach men at risk, and react appropriately in case of disclosure, is of paramount importance.

Effectiveness of an Online Peer Gatekeeper Training Program for Postsecondary Students on Suicide Prevention in Japan: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of an Online Peer Gatekeeper Training Program for Postsecondary Students on Suicide Prevention in Japan: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

GKT builds the self-efficacy of those acting as a gatekeeper, such as speaking to people at risk of suicide. A recent meta-analysis in the United States reported the effectiveness of GKT in universities on suicide prevention knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy [12]. Thus, increasing a student’s self-efficacy as a gatekeeper leads to more gatekeeper actions and, as a result, suicide prevention. Students, however, may encounter obstacles in attending a GKT program.
