Summary

This study tested whether watching a 14-minute video of people sharing their personal stories of choosing not to attempt suicide can lower suicidal thoughts and hopelessness. Over 500 young adults who had recently wished they were dead watched either the 'Papageno' video or a control video. Researchers measured changes in suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and feelings of control right after viewing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Papageno story video (a compilation of interviews where people describe times they considered suicide but chose other options)
What this could lead to
If it works, this video could become a simple, low-cost tool to help reduce suicidal thoughts and hopelessness in at-risk young adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no long-term follow-up. The video may not reduce suicide risk in real-world settings, and results may not apply to everyone.
