关于自杀预防计划的文献综述，对于以学校为基础的预防计划的有效性，提出了相互矛盾的结果。看门人培训和同伴帮助都被推荐为以学校为基础的综合预防计划的一部分，但没有文献证据表明对同伴帮助者的看门人培训进行系统评估。本研究采用重复测量设计，对高中同伴辅助者进行此类培训的效果进行了评估。关于自杀的知识和应对自杀同龄人的技能在培训后立即和3个月后明显增加。培训后，对自杀干预的积极态度也有了显著的改善。虽然没有控制组，但这项研究初步支持了对同伴帮助者进行自杀风险评估的有效性，并指出了对同伴帮助者进行额外培训的重要性。
Literature reviews on suicide prevention programs have presented conflicting results on the efficacy of school-based prevention programs. Gatekeeper training and peer helping are both recommended as part of a comprehensive school-based prevention program, yet there is no literary evidence of the systematic evaluation of gatekeeper training for peer helpers. This study evaluated the efficacy of such training with high school peer helpers using a repeated measures design. Significant gains in knowledge about suicide and skills for responding to suicidal peers were evident immediately after training and 3 months later. There was also a significant improvement in positive attitudes toward suicide intervention following training. Although there was no control group, the research offers tentative support for the efficacy of training peer helpers in suicide risk assessment and indicates the importance of additional training for peer helpers.
