A New Questionnaire Has Proved Promising In Helping To Identify And Then Treat Kids Or Teens At Risk Of Suicide

In turn, the team now believes that universal screening is the most optimal way to catch and treat suicide risk among adolescents.

“Universal screening in the school setting with the PHQ-9 helps to identify students at risk for suicide and increases treatment initiation. Analyses considering removal of the suicide risk question and use of the PHQ-8 demonstrated a substantial number of at-risk students would be missed,” the researchers underscored.

And moving forward, the researchers have advocated for future work to measure the functional improvements among students identified by the screenings.
