Abstract
This study combined gatekeeper programs with the information technology to develop the educational smart contents of a suicide prevention program for youth. The study analyzed various evidence-based gatekeeper programs and extracts essential educational elements from these programs in order to apply to the smart contents. Sixteen adolescents participated in a quantitative(pre-post test) study and 8 of them participated in a focus group interview. In addition to youth participants, youth experts were also interviewed to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational smart contents of a suicide prevention program. The results included: (1) higher post-test scores were attained for knowledge of youth suicide; (2) youth participants indicated better understandings of youth suicide and sympathy; (3) on a focused group interview with youth experts, participants also indicated that the program helped youth to interact better with other youth with suicide ideation. They also indicated that this program was user-friendly. Recommendations for further research are also discussed.
