Resumo
[Abstract] Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a problem-solving
intervention for the prevention of suicidal risk in Brazilian adolescents with elevated suicidal potential and depressive symptoms. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 100 participants (mean age 17.2 years, 60% women, 46% mixed race), allocated to the problemsolving intervention (n = 50) or the usual care control group (n = 50). Blinded
interviewers conducted assessments at pretreatment, posttreatment, 1, 3, and 6 months of follow-up. The main outcome was suicidal orientation; secondary outcomes were suicidal risk, suicidal plans and attempts, depressive symptoms, and problem-solving skills. Results: At posttreatment and up to 6-month follow-up, there was lower suicidal orientation and suicidal risk in the problem-solving group compared to the control group. There were lower suicidal plans and attempts (0.0% participants vs 2.2% with a suicide plan and 2.2% with both suicide plan and attempt); risk difference was 0.04 (95% CI: 0.01–0.09) and the number needed to treat was 25 (95% CI: 11–70). Significant effects of the intervention on depressive symptoms were found at posttreatment and maintained for 6 months. The change in global and functional problem-solving skills mediated the reduction in suicide orientation. Conclusions: Thus, suicidal risk can be successfully prevented in adolescents.
