Suicide Interventions for Youths: A Systematic Review

Suicide Interventions for Youths: A Systematic Review, in JAMA Pediatrics

key takeaway: "This systematic review found that the current evidence on available interventions targeting youths at heightened risk of suicide is uncertain. Medication, neurotherapeutics, and emerging therapies remain unstudied among this population. The limited evidence base calls for the development of novel, developmentally and trauma-informed treatments, as well as multilevel interventions to target the increasing suicide risk among youths."
