Evaluating iatrogenic risk of youth suicide screening programs
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to examine whether asking about suicidal ideation or behavior during a screening program creates distress or increases suicidal ideation among high school students generally or among high-risk students reporting depressive symptoms, substance use problems, or suicide attempts. No evidence of iatrogenic effects of suicide screening emerged and it is found that screening in high schools is a safe component of youth suicide prevention efforts.
