Nearly half of Texas youths being treated for depression or suicidal thoughts reported at least one suicide attempt, and 90% had experienced suicidal ideation, according to a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers. The findings, published in the journal Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, represent the data from a registry established in 2020 by the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN).
, poorer school adjustment and social connectedness, lower resilience, and higher rates of trauma exposure than those without suicidality, data showed.suicide attempt
"There is an urgent need for prevention and intervention strategies for suicidal ideation and behavior in youths. These findings highlight important demographic and clinical correlates, which can inform future efforts for more targeted treatments," added Dr. Kennard, who is also Director of the Suicide Prevention and Resilience program at Children's Health.
As part of TX-YDSRN, UTSW has connected youths in need of mental health services to clinicians while also providing learning opportunities for practitioners and others in research methods and assessment practices. The longitudinal project will follow participants for two years to identify risk factors, best practices, and contributors to health disparities.
