目标和参与者：从2002年到2005年，作者测试了一种互动的、基于网络的方法，以鼓励有自杀风险的大学生寻求治疗。研究方法：作者邀请两所大学的学生完成一份在线问卷，筛选抑郁症和其他自杀风险因素。受访者接受了个性化的评估，并能够匿名与临床顾问在线交流。敦促有风险的学生亲自参加评估和治疗。结果如下：共有1，162名学生（占受邀学生的8%）完成了筛选问卷; 981名（84.4%）被指定为高风险或中度风险。在这一组中，190人（19.4%）参加了与顾问的面对面评估会议，132人（13.5%）进入治疗。与辅导员进行在线对话的学生比那些没有来接受评估和治疗的学生多3倍。结论：该方法有相当大的希望，鼓励以前未经治疗的，有风险的大学生得到帮助。
Objective and Participants: From 2002 to 2005, the authors tested an interactive, Web-based method to encourage college students at risk for suicide to seek treatment. Methods: The authors invited students at 2 universities to complete an online questionnaire that screened for depression and other suicide risk factors. Respondents received a personalized assessment and were able to communicate anonymously with a clinical counselor online. At-risk students were urged to attend in-person evaluation and treatment. Results: A total of 1,162 students (8% of those invited) completed the screening questionnaire; 981 (84.4%) were designated as at high or moderate risk. Among this group, 190 (19.4%) attended an in-person evaluation session with the counselor, and 132 (13.5%) entered treatment. Students who engaged in online dialogues with the counselor were 3 times more likely than were those who did not to come for evaluation and enter treatment. Conclusions: The method has considerable promise for encouraging previously untreated, at-risk college students to get help.
