What this trial studies
This study evaluates two internet-based programs designed to prevent suicidal ideation among medical students and interns. One program focuses on stress management using cognitive and behavioral principles, while the other emphasizes health promotion. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the programs, and their effectiveness will be assessed over a 12-month period following the intervention. The study aims to determine if these programs can significantly reduce occurrences of suicidal thoughts in this vulnerable population.
