This study evaluated VitalSign6, a software tool designed to achieve these goals. Almost two thousand youths were screened using VitalSign6 over the course of a year, with almost half of the youth having at least one follow-up assessment. About one quarter achieved remission 4 months after initial screening. Teenagers had higher depression scores, higher suicidality, and more follow-up assessments than younger patients (\u0026lt;12 years of age), while younger patients had higher rates of remission. The process of collecting data and navigating treatment showed that VitalSign6 allows for quick and easy screening of patients, displays clear visual data for providers, and produces tailored treatment recommendations for diverse intervention options. Implementing VitalSign6 eases the MBC rollout process, potentially leading to better outcomes in youth getting treatment for depression.\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMitchell, T. B., Wakefield, S.

Exposure to these traumatic experiences is known to be linked to adverse mental and physical health outcomes. This study investigated the nature of the relationship between trauma exposure and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. To study the dose-response nature of traumatic experiences, the sample was divided into four groups: No Traumatic Exposure Categories (No TEC), 1 TEC, 2-3 TEC, and 4 or more TEC. Using PHQ-A to measure depression and GAD-7 to measure anxiety, the investigators found that the depression scores were lower in the No TEC group than in the 2-3 TEC and the \u22654 TEC groups, with cis-gendered participants having significantly lower scores than their trans\/non-binary counterparts. Similarly, significantly lower anxiety scores were found in the No TEC group compared to the other groups. In the role of suicidality, measured by CHRT-SR, only specific trauma types were significantly different from the no-trauma group, suggesting that these trauma types may be unique predictors of suicidal risk. It is important to continue investigating the role of trauma in suicidal youth to potentially develop new treatment protocols. \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGoodman, L. C., Elmore, J. S., Mayes, T.

Many youths who end up screening positive for suicidal ideation display no apparent mental health challenges, thus screening plays an important role in helping to manage this mental health crisis. This review proposes that primary care is an optimal setting to detect suicidality early and provide appropriate monitoring and care. While the preferred tools used to assess suicidality can vary drastically among providers, with some preferring self-report questionnaires and others relying on clinician-administered forms, they all involve similar questions concerning suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and plans.

This study analyzes the properties of the 9-item Concise Health Risk Tracking - Self-Report (CHRT-SR9), a suicidality scale derived from its well-established 16-item predecessor the CHRT-SR16. When compared to CHRT-SR16 and item 9 of the PHQ-A (a commonly used screening question for suicidal thoughts), the CHRT-SR9 is a valid and reliable scale for measuring suicidal tendencies and, importantly, is sensitive to changes over time. All main elements that are represented in the CHRT-SR16 that contribute to the increased risk of suicide (pessimism, helplessness, despair, etc.) are still accounted for despite the shorter format of the CHRT-SR9.

This report characterizes the baseline prevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts within the TX-YDSRN sample. Nearly 90% of the sample reported suicidal ideation, and nearly half (48.2%) had at least one lifetime suicide attempt. Youth with ideation or attempts were more depressed and anxious and were less resilient than non-suicidal youth. Additionally, they experienced more traumatic events, were more likely to use recreational drugs, participated in fewer social activities, and displayed poorer peer relationships and school adjustment than their non-attempting counterparts. This report should allow researchers to better understand the relationship of suicidality with a variety of behavioral and physical health outcomes in Texas youth. \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKennard, B.

After initial screening, qualified participants completed a baseline appointment, a 1-month follow-up, and 12 bi-monthly follow-ups that included self-report measures and clinician clinician-guided assessments. Most (79.7%) of the participants had a primary diagnosis of depression, while 7.6% had bipolar disorder, 4.6% had suicidality or suicide behavior disorder, and 5.2% had primary anxiety, OCD, or PTSD. Just under half of all participants reported having at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime. The next steps for the TX-YDSRN project are also discussed.
