Suicide Risk Screening in Primary Care  This study described the methodological development and feasibility of real-world implementation of suicide risk screening using the ASQ in a pediatric primary care setting. Screening for suicide risk in pediatric primary care is feasible and acceptable to patients, their families and medical staff. Effect of Motivational-Interviewing Intervention This study examined whether a motivational interviewing-based intervention (STAT-ED) increased linkage of adolescents to outpatient mental health services and reduces depression symptoms and suicidal ideation in adolescents seeking emergency care for non-mental health-related concerns who screen positive for suicide risk. No differences were found on any primary outcome by study condition. However, STAT-ED was more efficacious than EUC at increasing mental health treatment initiation and attendance at 6 months. Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ) The purpose of this study was to develop a brief screening instrument to assess the risk for suicide in pediatric emergency department patients. The Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) instrument, a four-question instrument with high sensitivity and negative predictive value, can identify the risk for suicide in patients presenting to pediatric emergency departments.
