Aim of the study was to establish a European school-based professional screening among adolescents, which included variables on risk-behaviours and psychopathology; and to investigate the indicative value of adolescent risk-behaviour and self-reported psychopathology on help-seeking. Screening significantly increased the number of students requiring subsequent mental healthcare and added significant value in identifying pupils with mental health problems.

The study examines the inclusion of preventive factors and new media developments in media recommendations on suicide reporting. Less than 25 % of the recommendations advise against mentioning online forums, suicide notes, pacts, clusters, hotspots, details of the person, and positive consequences. No more than 15 % refer to self-help groups, fictional and online reporting. Media recommendations need to be revised by adding preventive factors and by including sections on new media reporting.
