Predicting Adolescent Depression and Suicide Risk Based on Preadolescent Behavioral Health Screening in Primary Care
Results suggest that the PSC-17, a well-researched screener widely used in pediatrics, has moderate predictive value with respect to depression and suicide risk during adolescence. More research is needed on the feasibility and potential benefits of broadband behavioral health screening in preadolescence to promote early identification and prevention efforts.
