Background: Research on models of implementation that enable widespread dissemination of suicide prevention to young adults is needed to address the critical public health issue of suicide among young adults. A peer-to-peer implementation approach may increase widespread dissemination of suicide prevention on college campuses. Aims: The current study involved the evaluation of a peer-led implementation of the evidence-based program Question, Persuade, and Refer Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention (QPR). Method: A total of 161 college students attended one of eight QPR implementations conducted by student peer educators certified as QPR trainers. Questionnaires were administered at pretest and posttest to assess knowledge of suicide, likelihood of intervening with someone suicidal, and self-efficacy to intervene with someone suicidal. Results: Results from a series of paired-samples t tests showed significant increases from pretest to posttest on the three outcomes of interest - knowledge of suicide, self-efficacy to intervene with someone suicidal, and likelihood to intervene with someone suicidal. Limitations: The short time frame of the current study is a limitation. Conclusion: Support for a peer-led model of implementation for college students has critical implications in terms of increasing the capacity for widespread dissemination of suicide prevention efforts on college campuses.

对大学生自杀预防守门人培训计划的同行领导实施评估

背景：需要研究能够向年轻人广泛传播自杀预防的实施模式，以解决年轻人自杀这一关键的公共卫生问题。点对点的实施方法可能会增加大学校园自杀预防的广泛传播。目标：当前的研究涉及评估同行领导的基于证据的计划问题、说服和转介自杀预防培训 (QPR) 的实施。方法：共有 161 名大学生参加了由认证为 QPR 培训师的学生同伴教育者实施的八项 QPR 实施中的一项。问卷在前测和后测中进行，以评估对自杀的了解、干预有自杀倾向的人的可能性以及干预有自杀倾向的人的自我效能。结 局限性：当前研究的短时间框架是一个局限性。结论：支持大学生的同伴主导实施模式对于提高在大学校园广泛传播自杀预防工作的能力具有重要意义。当前研究的短时间框架是一个限制。结论：支持大学生的同伴主导实施模式对于提高在大学校园广泛传播自杀预防工作的能力具有重要意义。当前研究的短时间框架是一个限制。结论：支持大学生的同伴主导实施模式对于提高在大学校园广泛传播自杀预防工作的能力具有重要意义。
