Summary: This systematic review assesses the effectiveness of organisational-level workplace mental health interventions on construction workers. The limited evidence suggests the need for improvement in methods and concepts, including the use of comprehensive mental health and wellbeing measures, tailored interventions for the construction industry, and the application of complex intervention principles in design and evaluation.

By strengthening group bonds and promoting healthy norms, the program improved relationship networks and reduced isolation.

Summary: The study found that around 16.4% of adolescents reported suicide ideation, while nearly 10% of adolescents had attempted suicide. Disinhibition was identified as a predictor for escalation from suicide ideation to attempts, while higher academic performance was associated with lower suicide attempt risk. Depression and victimization were also found to be associated with suicide ideation.

Summary: This study analyzes the effectiveness of interventions designed and implemented through participatory action research (PAR) processes in healthcare networks of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay. The results show that PAR-based interventions improved some outcomes regarding clinical coordination at the network level, but longer implementation periods are needed to achieve greater penetration and quantifiable changes. The participatory and flexible nature of interventions developed through PAR processes poses methodological challenges and requires a comprehensive mixed-methods approach.

Summary: The study found that students had mild depression symptoms, were mostly aware of the help-line but showed low intentions to use it. Depression symptoms influenced the strength of association between psychological determinants and intentions to use a help-line, with students experiencing depression more likely to endorse adverse beliefs about depression/suicide.

Summary: Since 1999, the Office of the United States Surgeon General has identified suicide prevention as a national public health priority, with the most recent update in 2012. Between 1999 and 2018, suicide rates in the U.S. increased by approximately one-third, making suicide the tenth leading cause of death. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to address the full spectrum of suicidal behavior due to increases in social isolation, mental distress, and economic hardship.

Summary: Despite public resources being invested in tackling the high suicide rates among veterans, little is known about how veterans and service members communicate suicidal thoughts during times of crisis, and what interventions they are willing to seek. This study aimed to identify communication and suicide intervention preferences among veterans and service members in crisis. The findings showed that veterans prefer to reach out to family members and military friends rather than crisis lines or veterans organizations. The preferred interventions varied based on participant demographics such as age, marital status, and veterans status. The study highlights the need for evidence-based, multimodal interventions to support veterans in need.

Summary: Digital CBTI reduces insomnia symptoms, alleviating and preventing suicidal ideation. It can serve as a monotherapy for improving sleep and reducing suicide risk for nonsuicidal patients, and as an adjunct treatment for suicidal patients in conjunction with mainline intervention targeting suicidogenic thoughts.

Summary: The study examined the differences in COVID-19 preventive health behaviors between rural and urban communities in the United States, finding that rural residents are less likely to wear masks in public, sanitize their homes or workplaces with disinfectants, avoid dining out, or work from home. This could worsen existing disparities in health access and outcomes for rural Americans.
