- Title
Screening for Adolescent Depression and Suicide Risk.
- Authors
Bukstein, Oscar G.
- Abstract
To guide physicians and other health care practitioners in making decisions about clinical preventive services such as screening, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) makes evidence-based recommendations. After suicide and depression screening, physicians and other primary care clinicians will need to further evaluate depressive symptoms and other psychiatric symptoms and behaviors, including suicidal behavior. In a policy statement, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry recommend screening for suicide risk across physical and mental health care settings.[10] The absence of a recommendation for suicide screening among adolescents in primary care settings does not call suicide screening into question but rather universal screening apart from screening for other risk factors such as depression.
