The types of outcome measures were self- report, standardized measures of suicide, including attempts. Coding sheets for each study included information on sample, intervention, and methodological characteristics. All statistical analyzes were performed with NCSS 2007 statistical and power analysis software, which is a multi-purpose statistical package with procedures for conducting meta-analyses. A total of 17 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. Study designs included 7 quasi- experimental and 10 experimental designs and involved a range of interventions. Participants were around 15 years of age. A majority of the samples were Caucasian, however, some studies had subjects that were primarily of ethnic minorities. The results concluded that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions for those who had committed acts of deliberate self-harm.
