Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of family-based interventions for adolescent suicide pre-vention using meta-analytic methods.Methods:A meta-analysis was conducted by searching CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,Web of Science,PubMed,APA PsycInfo and The Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials of family-based interventions for adolescent suicide prevention.Results:A total of 15 RCTs involving 2541 cases were conclu-ded.The results of meta-analysis showed that family-based therapy was effective in preventing adolescent suicide(95％CI:-0.76--0.09,P＜0.05),with a medium effect size for the intervention(g=-0.42),in which there was a significant effect on reducing suicidal ideation(SMD=-0.77,95％CI:-1.31--0.23,P＜0.05),and the effect on reducing suicide attempts was not significant(OR=0.87,95％CI:0.68-1.11,P＞0.05).Family-based therapies were most effective in adolescent suicide prevention when the duration of the intervention was 12 weeks or more,when they were based on attachment-based family therapy(ABFT)or resource support and safety plans,and when they had a reasonably high dropout rate(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:Family-based therapy has significant inter-vention effects on adolescent suicide prevention,and intervention effects on suicidal ideation are superior to those on suicide attempts.
