Multi-modal approach to preventing suicide in schools: a regionally-based UK pilot study
MAPSS is potentially appropriate to deliver in UK schools and may be beneficial for students, although requires further testing. A larger trial is considered feasible and is required to explore the utility and potential effectiveness of MAPSS. However, further work is needed to refine and adapt the intervention before a future trial can take place, with consideration of the logistical and staffing pressures within schools, and to facilitate student uptake and engagement.
