Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Self-injury and suicidal thoughts as well as behaviors are common among adolescents and young adults, and suicide is the second leading cause of death in this population group.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on adolescent and youth suicide prevention as well as postvention. Submissions addressing adolescent and youth suicidal behaviors in different cultural contexts and studies on prevention and postvention strategies applied in different settings (clinical, educational, occupational, and community) are welcome.
Contributions are expected to address the experiences of adolescents and youth from clinical or community samples, including specific groups (indigenous and LGBTQ+ youth, among others), and discuss current challenges in terms of research, clinical practice, and the implementation of specific interventions. Contributions may address different prevention approaches (universal, selective, or indicated) and different types of prevention or postvention interventions (gatekeeper training programs, digital interventions, survivor support strategies, etc.).
Proposals should constitute original research (theoretical or empirical) or literature reviews from psychology, psychiatry, and public health, as well as from the social sciences and medical humanities.
