Summary: The study found that around 16.4% of adolescents reported suicide ideation, while nearly 10% of adolescents had attempted suicide. Disinhibition was identified as a predictor for escalation from suicide ideation to attempts, while higher academic performance was associated with lower suicide attempt risk. Depression and victimization were also found to be associated with suicide ideation.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant association between weight and suicidal ideation, planning, or attempts among adolescents in the UAE. However, being female, older, and having lower socioeconomic status were significantly associated with increased suicidal behaviors. Increased parental involvement was associated with decreased suicidality.

Summary: The findings of the study suggest that students with high exposure to ACEs are more likely to report suicidal behaviors. There were no gender differences in the independent effects of ACEs type or pattern on suicidal behaviors, except for emotional neglect being associated with suicidal behaviors in girls.

Summary: This study found that existing prediction models can reliably identify adolescents in need of further evaluation, without the need for developing new models specifically for adolescents. Limitations include models not incorporating non-healthcare risk factors and relying on ICD9-CM codes for diagnoses and outcome measurement.

Summary: This study investigated the association between personality domains and suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts in a community-based sample of adolescents in Australia. The results showed that hopelessness, impulsivity, and sensation seeking were associated with suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts.

Summary: This study examined the efficacy of internet-delivered emotion regulation therapy for adolescents with nonsuicidal self-injury. The results showed that the internet therapy adjunctive to treatment as usual was more effective in reducing self-injury than treatment as usual alone at 1 month posttreatment. This treatment may increase access to evidence-based psychological interventions for adolescents with nonsuicidal self-injury.

Summary: The study revealed a high prevalence of suicidal behaviors among secondary school students in Sierra Leone, with loneliness, health risk behaviors, and family supervision playing significant roles. It suggests the importance of professional mental healthcare for emotional issues, while also emphasizing prevention programs targeting health risk behaviors and familial relationships for more positive outcomes.

Summary: Both alcohol use and cigarette smoking are risk factors for suicidal behaviors, although their roles differ in different stages of the suicidal process. Controlling alcohol use may have limited effectiveness in preventing further suicidal behaviors among ideators and planners, while managing cigarette smoking should be considered.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the factors that differentiate single attempters and multiple attempters among children and adolescents. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate original studies in this field. The results showed that anxiety disorders, depression severity, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, aggressiveness, and hopelessness were significantly associated with multiple suicide attempts. Identification of early risk factors and prevention programs tailored for adolescents could help prevent suicidal behavior in this vulnerable population.

Summary: Blood pressure during pregnancy is positively associated with blood pressure at follow-up, while the influence of glucose and insulin sensitivity on later blood pressure becomes less significant after adjustments. Insulin sensitivity during pregnancy is independently associated with blood pressure outcomes in the postpartum period, regardless of blood pressure, BMI, and other covariates measured during pregnancy.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a new approach to prescribing guidelines to support prescribers in delivering high-quality mental health care to youths. By using nominal group technique and a series of webinar discussions, first- to nth-line treatments and recommendations were established, focusing on target symptoms rather than diagnoses.

Summary: Dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) are a sequence of decision rules that recommend treatments for individual patients based on their information history. With increasing data complexity, it can be challenging to identify relevant prognostic factors in the treatment rule. Therefore, we propose a data-driven variable selection method to improve the estimation of decision rules.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence of household food insecurity (HFI) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation among youth and young adults (YYA) with diabetes. The results showed that HFI was more prevalent in type 2 diabetes compared to type 1 diabetes, while SNAP participation was higher in type 2 diabetes compared to type 1 diabetes. YYA receiving Medicaid or Medicare or without insurance, whose parents had lower levels of education, and with lower household income had greater odds of experiencing HFI.

Summary: This study examines the temporal trends and correlates of glycemic control in youth and young adults with youth-onset diabetes. The results show that despite advancements in diabetes technologies and medications, many current youth and young adults are less likely to achieve desired glycemic control compared to earlier cohorts.

Summary: This study found that children and adolescents diagnosed with PTSD have higher rates of using physical and mental health services in almost all categories compared to controls. However, one-third of them did not receive any outpatient mental health visits during the one-year sampling period, suggesting that they may have unmet mental health needs.

Summary: This study examines the inequities of COVID-19 in racial and ethnic minority groups. The results indicate that the increased incidence of severe COVID-19 among Black/African American and Hispanic individuals is due to higher infection rates rather than increased susceptibility to progression. The disparities in COVID-19 are most likely caused by social factors rather than biological factors. Future research should explore the reasons behind the increased risk of severe COVID-19 among Asian Americans and emphasize the importance of equity in vaccine distribution.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between household food insecurity (HFI) and fear of hypoglycemia among young adults and adolescents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as their parents. The results showed that adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes experiencing HFI had higher fear of hypoglycemia scores compared to those without HFI. Screening for HFI and fear of hypoglycemia can help healthcare providers customize diabetes education for individuals who have HFI and fear hypoglycemia.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the temporal trends in glycemia and insulin pump use among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and found that there was no clinically significant improvement in glycemia among incident youth cohorts diagnosed between 2002 and 2016, despite a significant increase in insulin pump use. Disparities in glycemic control were also observed among different racial and ethnic groups.

Summary: The study aims to examine the rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) over a 10-year period and assess racial/ethnic disparities in SMM among insured women in Southern California. The study found an increasing trend in SMM rates from 2008 to 2017. Non-Hispanic Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic women were more likely to experience SMM events compared to non-Hispanic White women. Multilevel approaches are needed to understand the factors associated with racial and ethnic disparities in SMM and develop effective interventions to reduce SMM.

Summary: Suicide risk prediction models can identify individuals for targeted intervention. Comparisons of different models show that simpler parametric models, such as logistic regression, perform similarly to more complex machine learning methods in predicting suicidal behavior. Our results suggest that simpler models are easier to implement as part of routine clinical practice.

Summary: Disruptions in medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with a decrease in ABC testing among US adults with diabetes. ABC testing rates in 2021 were lower compared to 2019, and these lower rates were associated with delays or inability to access medical care. After full adjustment, adults who reported delaying or not getting medical care were 50% less likely to receive ABC testing.
