Trends in Adolescent Depression and Suicide Risk Screening and Symptom Monitoring in a Large Primary Care Network
In the years following implementation of universal depression and suicide risk screening in a large PC network, screening compliance increased significantly. However, low rates of interim symptom monitoring for patients screening positive indicate a gap in secondary prevention. Improving risk-based follow-up procedures, including interim screening, in PC represents a critical next step to enhance the preventive potential of universal screening.
