Background: Freely available and asynchronous implementation supports can reduce the resource burden of evidence-based practice training to facilitate uptake. Freely available web-based training videos have proliferated, yet there have been no efforts to quantify their breadth, depth, and content for suicide prevention. Objective: This study presents results from a scoping review of freely available training videos for suicide prevention and describes a methodological framework for reviewing such videos. Methods: A scoping review of freely available training videos (≥2 minutes) for suicide prevention practices was conducted using 4 large video-sharing platforms: YouTube, Vimeo, Bing Video, and Google Video. Identified suicide prevention training videos (N=506) were reviewed and coded. Results: Most content was targeted toward gatekeepers or other lay providers (n=370) versus clinical providers (n=136). Videos most commonly provided content related to suicidal thoughts or behaviors (n=420). Many videos (n=274, 54.2%) included content designed for certain communities or organizations. Less than half (n=232, 45.8%) of training videos included formal clinical content pertaining to assessment or intervention for suicide prevention. Conclusions: Results suggested an abundance of videos providing broad informational content (eg, “signs and symptoms of someone at risk for suicide”) and a limited portion of videos with instructional content aimed at clinical providers delivering formal evidence-based assessments or interventions for suicide prevention. Development of resources to address identified gaps may be needed. Future work may leverage machine learning techniques to expedite the review process.

免费提供的预防自杀培训视频：范围审查

背景：免费提供的异步实施支持可以减轻循证实践培训的资源负担，以促进采用。免费提供的网络培训视频数量激增，但尚未量化其预防自杀的广度、深度和内容。目的：本研究提出了对免费的自杀预防培训视频进行范围审查的结果，并描述了审查此类视频的方法框架。方法：使用 4 个大型视频共享平台（YouTube、Vimeo、Bing Video 和 Google Video）对免费提供的自杀预防实践培训视频（≥2 分钟）进行范围审查。对确定的自杀预防培训视频 (N=506) 进行审查和编码。结果：大多数内容针对的是看门人或其他非专业提供者 (n=370)，而不是临床提供者 (n=136)。最常提供与自杀想法或行为相关的内容的视频 (n=420)。许多视频（n=274，54.2%）包含为某些社区或组织设计的内容。不到一半（n=232，45.8%）的培训视频包含与自杀预防评估或干预相关的正式临床内容。结论：结果表明，大量视频提供了广泛的信息内容（例如，“有自杀风险的人的体征和症状”），而有限部分的视频包含指导内容，旨在为临床提供者提供正式的循证评估或自杀干预措施预防。可能需要开发资源来解决已发现的差距。未来的工作可能会利用机器学习技术来加快审查过程。
