Six clinical interventions are used to respond to acute suicidality —pharmacotherapy, Observations, Contracting for Safety, Crisis Response Planning, Safety Planning, and Care •Collaborate •Connect. This study used a systematic review to identify the efficacy of these acute suicide prevention interventions. Method: OvidSP was used to search EMBASE, Emcare, Medline, Ovid Nursing, and PsycINFO from inception to 1 December 2020. The searches combined the terms for suicid ∗ in the title AND observation OR contract ∗ , OR no-suicide OR no-harm OR safe ∗ OR crisis response, OR CRP, OR coping, OR Care Collaborate Connect in the title, abstract, or keywords. Results: Five randomised control trials that evaluated one or more of the five interventions were identified.

Discussion: Efficacy trials of suicide prevention interventions are urgently needed to ensure those seeking support for suicidality receive timely and effective interventions and to meet this international health priority,
