Cheryl King, PhD
University of Michigan

ABSTRACT:
Adolescent suicide continues to be an urgent, public health concern. This presentation will discuss selected studies from a research program focused on developing evidence-based strategies for suicide risk screening, suicide risk assessment, and preventive intervention. Findings related to the multi-variable prediction of adolescent suicide attempts, the Computerized Adaptive Screen for Suicidal Youth (CASSY), and the Youth-Nominated Support Team intervention (YST) will be given special emphasis.

PSMG: Suicide Prevention Series - David Goldston

Suicidal behaviors from adolescence through young adulthood: Developmental trajectories and intervention.

David Goldston, PhD
Duke University

ABSTRACT:
This PSMG presentation will provide an overview of a program of research focused on youth and young adult suicidal behavior. From a longitudinal study of youth followed through adulthood, data will be presented regarding proximal psychiatric disorders and developmental changes in psychiatric profiles of youth with suicidal behaviors over time, differing developmental trajectories of risk and their covariates, patterns of escalation, and implicit affective responses associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Building on these findings, the presentation will describe several ongoing and recent intervention development studies and clinical trials for youth at risk for suicide.
