University Students' Perceptions and Experiences of a Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Program (GUIAS_Program): Improvements and Implications for Education.
Review in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSuicide prevention in university settings presents a significant public health challenge due to the high prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviours among students. This qualitative study explores the perceptions and experiences of students who participated in the Universtiy Manager in Suicide Identification and Care (in Spanish, GUIAS: Gestores Universitarios en Identificación y Atención al Suicidio) training programme, designed to equip them with skills for early detection and initial management of at-risk situations.
methodAn ethnomethodological thematic analysis was conducted using self-recorded semi-structured interviews. Participants were undergraduates enroled in the 2023-2024 academic year at the University of the Balearic Island, studying degrees in Nursing, Medicine, Psychology, Physiotherapy, Social Work, or Pedagogy. A total of 21 students submitted interviews; however, theoretical data saturation was reached after analysing 15.
resultThematic analysis identified four key themes: (a) satisfaction with programme design, (b) satisfaction with content, (c) achievements and expectations, and (d) suggestions for improvement. Participants valued the course's mixed-method approach, which combined theoretical modules, clinical simulations, and reflective activities, fostering a flexible and personalised learning experience. Clinical simulations were particularly highlighted for their role in developing practical skills.
conclusionFindings indicate that the programme effectively supports competence development in suicide prevention. Participants recommended broadening content and optimising dissemination strategies to enhance the programme's reach and impact. These insights underscore the importance of refining such initiatives within university settings to strengthen suicide prevention efforts and improve student preparedness in handling at-risk situations. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Individuals with lived experience of suicidal crises contributed to the design and evaluation of the programme, providing their perspective to ensure that the content was aligned with the real needs of the university community. Additionally, a student participated as co-author, which allowed for a more contextually-appropriate adaptation of the training programme to its intended recipients.
