Subject Terms: *TECHNOLOGICAL risk assessment, *SUICIDE prevention, *ATTEMPTED suicide, *SUICIDAL ideation, *MEDICAL sciences
Abstract: Using the Scopus database, this systematic review methodically examines suicide studies to provide a thorough overview. Our research sheds light on the multidisciplinary character of suicide investigations by spanning the fields of medicine, psychology, neuroscience, and social sciences. Well-known authors like M.A. Oquendo, K. Hawton, and M. Pompili become important figures in the subject, influencing the direction of study. The study provides a comprehensive knowledge of the state of suicide research today by pointing out trends, patterns, and gaps. Important aspects covered by key results include risk factors, preventative measures, and the complex nature of this worldwide public health issue. The frequency with which some terms, like "Suicide Attempt" and "Suicidal Ideation", appear highlights important topics of discussion in current suicide literature. Examined are access kinds, document formats, and language variety, offering a thorough picture of the many approaches used in the worldwide dissemination of research results. The acknowledgement of inherent limitations in the systematic review approach, such as language bias and database dependency, is included with the synthesis of results. We suggest lines of investigation for future study, such as the influence of developing technology on risk assessment and intervention and the efficacy of suicide prevention programs across a range of populations. In summary, by promoting a deeper knowledge of suicide, this Scopus-based systematic review acts as a guide for scholars, decision-makers, and practitioners. By navigating the complex network of literature, this study lays the groundwork for future research that may have a substantial impact on treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
