Study Invitation: Building Suicide Prevention Skills
Categories: Za medije
Are you studying medicine, psychology, nursing, education/pedagogy, social work, or a related caretaking field?
If you want to feel more prepared to recognise when someone may be in a suicidal crisis and respond appropriately, this study is for you.
What does the study involve?
- Two short surveys: one now (about 15 minutes) and one in three weeks (about 15 minutes).
-
Random allocation after sign-up:
- Intervention group: complete short learning modules (about 45 minutes total over three weeks).
- Control group: receive access after finishing the follow-up survey.
Incentive: All participants enter a lottery for three €50 gift tokens.
Who can take part?
University students aged 18+ in professions related to working with at-risk populations, such as medicine, psychology, nursing, education/pedagogy, social work, and related fields.
International participation is welcome. We particularly welcome students from Austria, China, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
