abstract="PROBLEM: Few empirically tested, school-based, suicide-prevention programs exist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postintervention efficacy of Counselors-CARE (C-CAST) and Coping and Support Training (CAST) vs. &quot;usual care&quot; controls for reducing suicide risk. METHODS: A randomized prevention trial; 341 potential dropouts, 14 to 19 years old, from seven high schools (52% female, 56% minorities) participated. Trend analyses using data from three time points assessed over time changes. FINDINGS: Significant decreases occurred for all youth in suicide-risk behaviors, depression, and drug involvement. Intervention-specific effects occurred for decreases in depression. CONCLUSIONS: School-based prevention approaches are feasible and show promise for reducing suicidal behaviors and related depression.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
