A follow-up study conducted at 68 U.S. universities and colleges found that At-Risk, an online gatekeeper training course for faculty and staff, increases the number of students exhibiting signs of psychological distress whom faculty and staff refer to their counseling center.
At-Risk is a simulation that teaches learners to identify, approach, and refer students exhibiting signs of psychological distress, including depression and thoughts of suicide. The study included 420 participants who completed an online survey after taking the training and were then surveyed again 3-4 months later.
