Suicide is the second leading cause of adolescent death and suicide attempts outnumber deaths 50:1 for adolescents 15 to 19 years of age. This study examines differences in outcomes between adolescents and adults treated at an adult trauma center in an effort to guide recovery and prevention strategies following an adolescent suicide attempt. Retrospective review of patients aged ≥14 years treated at an urban, Level 1 trauma center for self-inflicted injuries between 2009 and 2018 was performed. The cohort was divided into adolescents (14-19 years) and adults (≥20 years) and into group A (economically distressed) and group B (non-distressed). Demographics, injury, outcomes, and geospatial analysis were compared. Among 723 patients, 60 (8%) were adolescents of which 92% were male, 55% black, 47% blunt injuries, and 53% penetrating. In adults, 76% were male, 41% black, 28% blunt injuries, and 72% penetrating. Mortality estimates for adolescents and adults were 35% and 24%, respectively (p=0.09). Most adolescent deaths occurred within 3 days after admission, while adult deaths occurred further into hospitalization (p<0.01). Cox regression analysis found higher mortality with self-pay compared to private insurance (HR 2.6; p<0.001), and penetrating vs. blunt/other injuries (HR 2.4; p<0.001). Psychiatric care was administered in 64% of adolescents (n=39) and 84% of adults (p< 0.01). Inpatient psychiatric care for adolescents who attempted suicide was limited at an adult trauma center. The high incidence of suicide attempts and community-level distress in adolescents require immediate attention and resources.

Family background, social support and psychological characteristics are known to be associated with depression in adolescence, but scientific data in complex, naturalistic settings are scarce. To investigate the characteristics of adolescent psychiatric inpatients with depressive disorders compared to peers without psychiatric disorders and to adolescent psychiatric inpatients without depression. The study population of 206 inpatients (13-17 years old) and 203 age and gendermatched non-referred adolescents was evaluated using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) interview, and clinical interview and clinical records when available. Structured self-reports provided information on family background, defense styles, self-image and perceived social support. We compared firstly subjects with current depressive disorders (n=120) to subjects without any psychiatric disorder (n=159) and secondly within the inpatient population, those with depressive disorders (n=117) to those with any other psychiatric diagnoses (n=89). Current depressive disorders were characterized by worse self-image, less mature defenses and less perceived social support particularly from the family. Adversities in the family were more prevalent in subjects with depression compared to subjects without any psychiatric diagnosis, while among inpatients, no significant differences were observed. Psychiatric comorbidity was common in all inpatients, whereas suicidality was more prevalent among inpatients with depression. Negative self-image, less mature defense style and low perceived social support particularly from the family were characteristics of depression in adolescents.

Examining the effectiveness and adequacy of adolescents’ psychiatric inpatient treatment through multiple perspectives is crucial to provide the best care. The aims of the current study were to examine the consistencies and discrepancies between patients and clinicians and to understand how each group considered the timing of improvement of symptoms and psychosocial difficulties of adolescents during a psychiatric inpatient stay. The Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA, assessing symptoms and psychosocial difficulties) was rated on a weekly basis by patients and clinicians during a psychiatric inpatient stay. Data were collected from 297 patients, 58.2% females. Both clinicians and patients reported a significant decrease of the HoNOSCA scores from admission to discharge, revealing that inpatient treatment is perceived as helping the adolescents to alleviate their symptoms and psychosocial difficulties. However, the item-by-item analyses indicated that patients and clinicians reported difficulties in different symptoms and psychosocial domains. Moreover, the week-by-week analyses revealed discrepancies in the perception of the time-course of clinical outcome- changes between clinicians and patients, as well as between males and females, and between voluntarily and involuntarily admitted patients. By integrating perspectives of patients and clinicians and their respective timelines, as well as by taking into account the mode of admission and the patient’s gender, this study provides a deeper understanding of the evolution of clinical outcome during adolescents’ hospitalizations, which allows to adapt their treatment and therewith, to help patients more efficiently.

The high prevalence of adolescent self-harm within mental health services presents considerable management concerns, exacerbated by a lack of clear evidence regarding therapeutically effective approaches. This shortfall perpetuates traditional risk-averse practice, despite likely inadequacies in mitigating self-harm through failing to address underlying psychological mechanisms. Therapeutic risk, defined as an approach whereby clinicians support individual risk-taking, may be an alternative that yields improved recovery outcomes. However, related research is adult-focused and provides limited detail on its features, practical delivery and impact on recovery. Consequently, the current study explored the experiences of professionals delivering a therapeutic risk ethos, including their conceptualisation of it and its impact on young people. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven mental health support workers employed by a residential healthcare provider, which promotes a therapeutic risk approach. The provider supported service users aged 15 - 20 experiencing complex psychopathology who, following inpatient discharge, presented a high risk of self-harm and suicidality. Interview data was thematically analysed. Staff participants provided their understanding of a therapeutic risk approach, suggesting risk is viewed as positive and beneficial to recovery, alongside the promotion of service user freedom and flexible therapeutic risk management. The perceived therapeutic risk incorporates both permission and support, which facilitate the exploration of underlying feelings and alternative actions. Additionally, therapeutic risk promotes positive recovery outcomes due to empowered service users having increased control over their lives. They argued this can reduce psychological distress, encouraging the development of emotional regulation and adaptive coping strategies.

Adolescence is defined by key transitional elements which are considered within a cross-cultural context. The importance of building mental health capacity for adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as well as high-income countries (HICs) is reviewed. To review the developmental period of adolescence, global needs for mental health promotion, the needs of LMICs while emphasizing building adolescent mental health capacity, and the importance of efforts to promote mental health literacy. Mental health literacy (MHL) is presented as a strategy that can increase public awareness regarding mental health issues among adolescents. Increased awareness through an MHL framework is discussed as a way to build adolescent mental health capacity; with this work ideally occurring through global communities of practice (COP), dialogue, collaboration, and mutual support that aim to build innovation in systems of mental health promotion. The authors review structural components in research, practice, and policy that seek to build global adolescent mental health capacity, nested within COPs involving HICs and LMICs working together to advance mental health promotion for children, adolescents, and young people. The article concludes with a discussion of how the three structural components (i.e., research, practice, and policy) can address gaps in the provision of global mental health services for adolescents to meet adolescent mental health needs in LMICs and HICs. A multi-sectoral approach emphasizing a global COP is presented as a way to scale up capacity and maximize outcomes.

Bias-motivated victimization is common among school-age youth and is associated with negative academic and emotional consequences. Few studies have looked at the incidence of various forms of bias-motivated victimization for first- and second- generation immigrant-origin students even though these students represent an especially vulnerable population for experiencing bias. The present study investigated whether immigrant-origin students reported higher incidences of bias-motivated victimization relative to their nonimmigrant-origin peers. For students who experienced bias-motivated victimization, we examined the impact of these experiences on levels of distress and examined perceived social and community support between immigrant-origin and nonimmigrant-origin students. Participants completed the Youth Bias Victimization Questionnaire (YBVQ), a questionnaire designed to capture information about how often youth experience different types of bias-motivated victimization. Approximately 60% of youth in the full sample reported experiencing one or more types of bias victimization in their lifetime and this rate was generally equivalent across immigrant- origin and nonimmigrant-origin participants. For those students who reported at least one lifetime event of bias victimization, immigrant-origin youth were more likely than nonimmigrant-origin youth to experience victimization related to peers’ perceptions of their country of origin or immigrant status. There were no significant differences in reported levels of distress or perceived social and community support between immigrant-origin and nonimmigrant-origin youth, regardless of whether they experienced bias-motivated victimization during their lifetime. Clinicians working in school settings should be aware of the high incidence of students who experience bias-motivated victimization and when indicated provide targeted intervention services to those negatively impacted by these experiences.

Historical and conceptual issues related to community psychiatry as an innovative approach to clinical assistance across the world, precede a more or less detailed examination of its presence, role and current accomplishments in Latin America, particularly related to child and adolescent subpopulations. Information about transition processes from the traditional hospital-centered model to the community-based approach, applicable mental health policies, levels of implementation and quality of the available reports in different countries, are duly evaluated. Within an understanding of the broader Latin American context, the paper describes the situation in Perú, a country considered representative of the Low and Middle Income (LMIC) group in the subcontinent. The situation in Perú is presented with particular emphasis on a recently established community-based mental health centers program across its territory. This description includes consideration of variables such as personal, family and identity empowerment, a focus on integrated care, and clinical outcomes and community relations. The development of community mental health centers across Perú is described. Adolescents represent the unique future of socio-culturally diverse Latin American countries, and must be the target population of well-conceived, cohesive community mental health policies and programs. The importance of political will to promote community health centers that provide adolescents access to services is critical.
