Emergency Department-based intervention measures such as suicide risk screenings, increased access to #pediatric #mentalhealth resources, and follow-up care and safety planning can reduce risks for #youth suicides, according to a new study. luriechildrens.org/en/news-s… @samaakemal

We also found that youth that used firearms, the most common means, were also less likely to have a documented mental health diagnosis, highlighting the need for universal lethal means counseling and Child Access Protection Laws to keep our most vulnerable population safe.
Three out of 5 youth who die by suicide do not have a documented mental health diagnosis, highlighting the need for comprehensive youth suicide prevention strategies. ja.ma/3WK9bIG
