This investigation explored the accuracy and clinical utility of adolescent accounts of two distinct cognitive processing methods during the recall of a suicidal episode within the Suicide Narrative Interview (SNI) framework. RI items, focused on recall intensity, were created to detect a tendency toward immersion in thoughts and emotions during the interview, contrasting with MM items, which were intended to measure a more detached and reflective mode of processing.

A randomized clinical trial (RCT) of 16 weeks duration tested the construct and predictive validity of pretreatment MM and RI in a population of depressed and suicidal adolescents.

= 113,

The 1495-person population included 841 females and 518 who are Black/African American. During the baseline assessment, the SNI was immediately followed by the adolescent ratings of MM and RI.

Baseline MM was associated with protective factors that decreased the risk of suicidal tendencies, and RI correlated with several risk factors for the development of suicidal symptoms. Significant improvements in suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms were seen in RCT participants characterized by high MM and low RI.

The study’s results show that MM and RI represent different memory processing pathways in adolescents experiencing suicidal episodes, potentially offering clinical implications for evaluating and treating suicidal adolescents. This PsycInfo Database Record, under copyright 2023, falls under the ownership and rights of the American Psychological Association.

The outcomes underscore the dual nature of adolescent memory processing concerning suicidal incidents, specifically MM and RI, highlighting the potential clinical application of both RI and MM in the evaluation and care of suicidal adolescents.

There exists an absence of conclusive evidence about how race/ethnicity and sexual identity affect the results of evidence-based psychological treatments. While dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) shows promising results in numerous studies, its practical application and impact on sexual minority and racial/ethnic minority populations is not fully explored. A study examined the interplay of sexual identity, racial background, ethnicity, and their combined influence on patient retention and positive treatment outcomes in a DBT framework.

Five clinical trials, encompassing research and community settings, yielded data from diverse adult populations.

Subjects were assigned to receive standard DBT, enhanced DBT, or specific elements of DBT treatment protocols. Longitudinal mixed-effects modeling was used to analyze the influence of sexual identity and racial/ethnic background on clinical outcomes (suicide attempts, nonsuicidal self-injury, global functioning, psychiatric hospitalizations) and patient retention.

Despite examining the impact of sexual identity, race/ethnicity, and the synergistic effects of their combined influence, no predictive relationship emerged in regards to the average severity or the rate of change in any observed clinical outcome over time. A reduced probability of treatment withdrawal was observed among individuals who identified as sexual minorities.

The data’s lack of statistical significance was clear, as signified by a p-value of below 0.001. The presence of this effect was nonetheless influenced by racial/ethnic background; non-Hispanic White sexual minorities exhibited the lowest rates of participant dropout. Preliminary investigations hinted at possible variations in NSSI patterns among specific sexual and racial/ethnic minority groups.

DBT treatment results remain comparable across groups, whether evaluating sexual minority versus heterosexual individuals, or non-Hispanic White versus racial/ethnic minority individuals. Completing DBT was influenced by the intersection of race/ethnicity and sexual minority identity, such that non-Hispanic sexual minorities were more likely to complete the program than sexual minority individuals of color and heterosexual individuals. A more thorough examination is necessary to discern potential disparities within subgroups and intersections.

Comparisons of DBT treatment outcomes reveal no significant distinctions between sexual minority and heterosexual individuals, or between non-Hispanic White and racial/ethnic minority individuals, according to the findings. DBT completion rates varied significantly based on the interaction between sexual minority identity and race/ethnicity; non-Hispanic sexual minorities were more likely to complete the program compared to sexual minorities of color and heterosexual individuals. A deeper investigation is required to elucidate potential disparities across subgroups and intersecting identities.

Youth involved in the justice system demonstrate a troubling combination of higher rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, coupled with challenges in behavioral health. However, they utilize fewer services compared to youth in the general population. The efficacy of the subject matter of this study was examined

Utilizing a digital clinical decision support system (CDSS) empowers probation officers to better identify, refer, and connect individuals with substance use disorders (STB) to behavioral health (BH) services. We also examined the influence of public agency service disruptions on study outcomes, considering the intervention’s duration that bridged the pre- and post-COVID-19 lockdown periods.

A comparative study utilizing administrative record data from 1488 youth, aged 10-18 years, of whom 56% were male and 56% White, examined differences between care-as-usual (baseline) and e-Connect in screening, identification of STB and BH problems, referral procedures, and commencement of treatment.

In comparison to the standard approach, probation officers employing e-Connect demonstrated a considerably higher likelihood (over five times) of identifying YIJ with STB, as shown by the adjusted odds ratio.

A 95% confidence interval of [324, 117] and a value of 586 demonstrates YIJ is over 11 times more likely to be referred for treatment by BH services.

A substantial difference was detected, with a value of 1104; the 95% confidence interval was 654 to 1943. E-Connect treatment participants were almost 17 times more apt to commence (a).

A value of 1692 was observed, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 917 to 3260. Results were consistent both before and after the COVID-19 shutdown.

Utilizing CDSS technology, e-Connect, one of the initial digital STB screening, referral, and linkage-to-service systems, facilitates successful connections between probation officers and treatment for their assigned youth. A strategy like this may help in the detection of STB and the establishment of connections across systems in other organizations that support youth, particularly schools, which are often handling youth behavioral health concerns with minimal clinical resources.

The digital STB screening, referral, and linkage-to-service system, e-Connect, utilizes CDSS technology to effectively aid probation officers in connecting youth on their caseloads with treatment. This methodology may prove beneficial in identifying STB and fostering cross-system linkages in other youth-serving organizations, such as schools, which frequently address youth behavioral health concerns with limited clinical support.

A substantial public health concern remains the issue of violence between intimate partners, and survivors often need diverse avenues of support to establish safety. The heightened risk of experiencing housing instability and homelessness faced by survivors has resulted in a greater number of domestic violence agencies employing housing-based strategies, such as Domestic Violence Housing First (DVHF), to cater to their needs. This study extends prior research confirming DVHF’s efficacy by investigating situational factors which impact the outcomes for 406 survivors seeking support at domestic violence agencies in the Pacific Northwest area. Latent profile analysis yielded three distinct latent classes of participants: (a) experiencing high levels of abuse and instability, (b) those still exhibiting lingering effects, and (c) those demonstrating positive progress. To estimate the probability of participants changing latent classes over time, a latent transition analysis was conducted, incorporating social support (SS), material hardship, and receipt of DVHF services as model covariates. The association of DVHF receipt with higher odds of survivors transitioning into the ‘doing better’ class was apparent, signifying positive impacts on their safety, housing stability, mental health, and well-being. Class identification was linked to the interplay of social support and material hardship, particularly where higher levels of social support and financial security were associated with placement in the ‘doing better’ class.
