Suicide Prevention Among College Students Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Timothy Brown, Professor
Public Health
Closed. This professor is continuing with Fall 2024 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Spring 2025.
This project will conduct the first systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the most effective and cost-effective intervention components for universal and targeted (indicated and selected) suicide prevention among college students in a global context. Special attention will be placed on disparities in suicide prevention across sociodemographic subgroups, inclusive interventions beyond campus, global context, and intervention responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Role: Undergraduate students will be engaged in the text extraction, coding, data analysis, interpretation, manuscript drafting, submission and revision process.
Learning outcome will be the hand-in-hand experiences of learning how to conceptualize, conduct, and publish systematic review and meta-analysis.
Students will work with Dr. Brown and also Dr. Xiao (Cornell Medical School), who is a prolific researcher in the area of suicide.
There is the research protocol already published in JMIR Research Protocol
We will update the dates and also update the text extraction forms to add any available information on the relationship of chronic pain with suicidal behavior.
