Modeling and Simulation (M&amp;S) is widely used to address public health problems, and numerous simulation models have investigated the complex, dependent, and dynamic risk factors contributing to suicide. However, no review has been dedicated to these models, which prevents modelers from effectively learning from each other and raises the risk of redundant efforts. To guide the development of future models, in this paper we perform the first scoping review of simulation models for suicide prevention. Examining ten articles, we focus on three practical questions. First, which interventions are supported by previous models? We found that four groups of models collectively support 53 interventions. We examined these interventions through the lens of global recommendations for suicide prevention, highlighting future areas for model development. Second, what are the obstacles preventing model application? We noted the absence of cost effectiveness in all models reviewed, meaning that certain simulated interventions may be infeasible. Moreover, we found that most models do not account for different effects of suicide prevention interventions across demographic groups. Third, how much confidence can we place in the models? We evaluated models according to four best practices for simulation, leading to nuanced findings that, despite their current limitations, the current simulation models are powerful tools for understanding the complexity of suicide and evaluating suicide prevention interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers12070132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]],"date-time":"2023-06-30T00:43:30Z","timestamp":1688085810000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Simulation Models for Suicide Prevention: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3342-0135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Schuerkamp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luke","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2921-4507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ketra L.","family":"Rice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA 30341, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6816-355X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe J.","family":"Giabbanelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (2023).
