Adolescent Patients—Healthy or Hurting?

Abstract: Despite the substantial proportion of primary care providers who encountered suicidal adolescent patients, most providers still do not routinely screen their patients for suicidality or associated risk factors. More training is needed and desired by the survey respondents. Patient confidentiality issues must be addressed. Development and widespread use of a short, easily administered, reliable, and valid screening tool are recommended to help busy clinicians obtain more complete information during all visits.

“…37–50 Adolescents should receive more routine STD testing and emotional and mental health screening. 37,5155 Studies have shown that only 18% of adolescents reported discussing risky behaviors 37 and that the odds of receiving preventive counseling and screening were higher for adolescents who reported meeting privately with providers. 37,47 Providing confidential care itself is another measure of quality of adolescent primary care.…”

“…These prevalence rates are consistent with previous findings. 16 Although the recent emphasis has been on depression screening in primary care, [9][10][11] these data suggest expanding best practice guidelines to include suicide screening as a required or, at least, encouraged domain for assessment in primary care. In addition, suicide risk spans numerous health conditions and can present without depression.…”

“…Additionally, current screening methods are unable to conveniently make the distinction between typical persons with suicidal ideation (i.e., with depression) and atypical (i.e., without depression). The efficient identification of persons at risk for suicide with atypical profiles could broaden our screening criteria and increase the likelihood of identifying this at-risk group in a timely way (Frankenfield et al, 2000). Clarification of the symptom profiles for this atypical group may also provide empirical evidence to support or refute clinical reports and theory about this atypical subtype.…”
