Adolescent suicide is a major public health concern worldwide. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions targeting youth suicide risk is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and clinical outcomes of Intensive Crisis Intervention (ICI), a cognitive‐behavioral, family‐centered treatment that provides an alternative to longer inpatient care..

Editorial. Every publication addressing suicide, particularly youth suicide, starts with the ‘alarming statistics' – often in the form of the absolute numbers of deaths or the ranking of suicide as the cause of death..

Self‐harm (SH) continues to be a worldwide concern among adolescents and there is a great need for programming aimed at reducing SH in adolescents. Evans and colleagues discuss the opinions of school staff from a representative sample of secondary schools across England and Wales regarding their school's current prevention and intervention practices in responding to self‐harm and how this should be addressed in future practice.

Crisis: The Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention (Mar 19, 2019). DOI:10.1027/0227-5910/a000580
Background: While considerable attention has been given to explanations for youth suicide, less is known about the reasons that young people themselves give for suicidality. Research on online communications gives an opportunity to investigate the real-time reasons young people give for feeling suicidal..

Suicidal behaviors increase dramatically during adolescence. In order to effectively intervene and ultimately prevent suicide in youth, the field needs to be able to identify and predict which adolescents are at greatest suicide risk. However, present knowledge of risk factors for suicide and techniques for identifying at-risk youth are insufficient. The purpose of the current manuscript is to highlight some of the key, yet unanswered, questions about the prediction of suicidal behavior in youth, and to suggest the types of research advances needed to move the field forward.

Despite the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents, there is limited knowledge of effective interventions to use with this population. This paper reviews the findings of studies on behavioral interventions for adolescents who are at acute suicide risk, as well as outpatient treatment and risk management strategies with suicidal adolescents. The importance of addressing comorbid behaviors and enhancing protective factors are discussed. Cultural considerations in working with suicidal adolescents and strategies for conducting culturally competent treatment are explored.

Suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death for adolescents, with limited evidence of empirically- supported treatment approaches for reducing risk of suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation in this population. The purpose of the current article is to present the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) therapeutic framework as a potentially useful approach to working with suicidal adolescents given the egalitarian dynamic between therapist and client, as well as the focus on targeting the client's unique drivers of suicide..

Translate Abstract
This paper examines the role of culture in suicide prevention for adolescents. The paper examines racial and ethnic differences in suicidal behaviors, examines the cultural context of suicidal behaviors in adolescents, and reviews the research on suicide preventions that are culturally relevant for racial/ethnic youth. Suggestions for ways to make suicide prevention programs more culturally salient are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract).

Suicide is a leading cause of death in adolescent populations. While numerous risk factors have been identified for adolescent suicidality, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The current manuscript attempts to elucidate these mechanisms through the application of the interpersonal theory for suicide. A review of the published literature is presented with an emphasis on risk and protective factors for adolescent suicidality. Current risk assessment protocols and treatment approaches are then summarized. We conclude with recommendations for future research.

Approximately 4,600 American adolescents commit suicide each year, and adolescent suicide rates are on the rise. The consequences of suicidal behavior are far-reaching, and understanding the development of patterns that contribute to ideation and attempt are crucial to prevention and intervention. This paper outlines an experiential avoidance model of suicidality and discusses an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to treating adolescent suicidal behavior. A case study is reviewed, along with literature relevant to the risk factors and trajectories correlated with suicide in adolescents..

Suicide is amongst the leading causes of death in young people globally and a health priority worldwide. For children and young people (CYP) attempting or considering suicide there is no agreed treatment model. Development of treatment models should be informed by the views and experiences of CYP using services.. To read the full article, log in using your NHS Athens details.

This participatory action research study explored why young people present with self-harm in primary care and how consultations could be more helpful. Twenty focus groups with young people, GPs and practice nurses were undertaken, plus analysis of 285 young people’s medical records with self-harm coding (205 female, 80 male) from three general practices.

Deliberate self‐harm in adolescents is an increasing clinical problem, but there is a limited understanding of the mechanisms causing or maintaining this behaviour. One proposed mechanism is that of dissociation. However, the role this mechanism may play is unclear: whilst some suggest that adolescents engage in self‐harm to end the aversive experience of dissociation, others propose that self‐harm is used to purposefully trigger a dissociative state to avoid emotional pain. This systematic review is the first to evaluate the available evidence regarding the relationship between dissociation and deliberate self‐harm in adolescents (aged 18 or younger)..
