Suicide among students enrolled in post-secondary education, including university or college, is a major public health concern. Previous research has examined the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs for this population. However, the effective elements of these interventions remain unknown. This study reviewed the literature on suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students, exploring and identifying those elements likely contributing to their effectiveness. A scoping review process was undertaken exploring suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students. Methodological quality of the articles was assessed, and content analysis was used to explore the programs and their effective elements. Twenty seven articles were included in this review, covering a variety of approaches. Gatekeeper training programs were the most common type of suicide prevention program. Programs for post-secondary students may be effective in improving student rates of engagement with mental health services and were associated with greater knowledge, and help-seeking attitudes and behaviors, and gatekeeper-related outcomes. While evidence was found supporting the effectiveness of some interventions such as gatekeeper programs to influence suicide-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, further and more rigorous research surrounding suicide prevention programs for post-secondary students is required, with a particular emphasis on student outcomes.

接受高等教育（包括大学或学院）的学生自杀是一个重大的公共卫生问题。先前的研究已经检查了针对这一人群的自杀预防计划的有效性。然而，这些干预措施的有效要素仍然未知。本研究回顾了有关专上学生自杀预防计划的文献，探索并确定了可能有助于其有效性的因素。进行了范围界定审查过程，以探索针对大专学生的自杀预防计划。评估了文章的方法学质量，并使用内容分析来探索项目及其有效要素。本次审查包括 27 篇文章，涵盖了多种方法。看门人培训计划是最常见的自杀预防计划。针对大专学生的计划可能会有效提高学生参与心理健康服务的比例，并与更多的知识、寻求帮助的态度和行为以及守门人相关的结果相关。虽然发现证据支持某些干预措施（例如守门人计划）影响自杀相关知识、态度和行为的有效性，但仍需要围绕专上学生的自杀预防计划开展更深入、更严格的研究，并特别强调学生的成果。针对大专学生的计划可能会有效提高学生参与心理健康服务的比例，并与更多的知识、寻求帮助的态度和行为以及守门人相关的结果相关。虽然发现证据支持某些干预措施（例如守门人计划）影响自杀相关知识、态度和行为的有效性，但仍需要围绕专上学生的自杀预防计划开展更深入、更严格的研究，并特别强调学生的成果。针对大专学生的计划可能会有效提高学生参与心理健康服务的比例，并与更多的知识、寻求帮助的态度和行为以及守门人相关的结果相关。虽然发现证据支持某些干预措施（例如守门人计划）影响自杀相关知识、态度和行为的有效性，但仍需要围绕专上学生的自杀预防计划开展更深入、更严格的研究，并特别强调学生的成果。
