| Summary: | Every year, almost one million people die from suicide. Attempted suicide can be up to 40 times frequent than completed suicide and they are at high risk for completed suicide. The purpose of this study is to identify an effective treatment to prevent suicide. Randomized studies published from January 1990 to January 2011, that involved an intervention to prevent suicide were selected for review. Jadad scoring system was used to check the quality of the studies and RevMan 5.1 was used for statistical analysis. Three studies met the selection criteria. The overall effect estimate confirms that the Brief intervention and contact / lay counsellor favours the experimental group in terms of attempted suicide. The overall effect estimate confirms that the Brief intervention and contact favours the experimental in terms of completed suicide.
