yes This study identifies various avenues by
which mental health treatment might be
improved for suicide attempt survivors.
This study also highlights the importance of
leveraging the perspectives of individuals
with lived experience in suicide prevention
research
Sadly, I have not yet established a
straightforward research topic.
However, I do wish to write about
suicide rates, depression, and mental
health treatments across the board.
Maybe do treatment options really
prevent suicide and help the
statistical rates of depression,
suicide and self-harm.

yes This article describes a Trauma Screening,
Brief Intervention, and Referral
to Treatment (T-SBIRT) protocol that
nonclinical providers can use to detect
trauma-related mental health concerns in
adults and link them to therapeutic
services. Study results are presented that
indicate it is feasible to implement T-SBIRT
within a universal nurse home visiting
program called Family Connects to
enhance trauma
and mental healthscreening and referral
processes.

reviews considerations in five domains
based on a framework that identifies
factors of effective implementation.

https://doi.org/10.1037/ser0000639
Yes The current set of studies examined
integrated primary care (IPC) patients’
perceptions of barriers to
accessing mental health care in IPC and
specialty mental health (SMH) settings.
Latinx and non-Latinx White IPC patients
perceived fewer barriers to care in IPC
than SMH, while a non-treatment-seeking
community samples saw no differences in
barriers to care across settings. Results
generally support the benefits of offering
behavioral health services in IPC settings.

underway to advance racial equity in
the child and youth mentalhealth and
addictions sector in Ontario. We believe
leaders can learn from the early successes
and challenges of these agencies outlined
in this article to create more innovative and
culturally responsive mental health
services for all.

and psychological factors associated with
immigrant Latina/o parent activation in
parents seeking mental health services for
their children. Additionally, the study tested
whether psychological factors (parental
depressive symptoms, parenting stress,
perceived severity
of child psychopathology) were associated
with the effectiveness of an activation

https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-006X.65.4.703
Yes Elementary school children with mild-tomoderate depressive symptoms were
randomly assigned to a control group or an
8-session Primary and Secondary Control
Enhancement Training program. The
program focused on (a) primary control
(changing objective conditions to fit one’s
wishes; e.g., through activity selection and
goal attainment) and (b) secondary control
(changing oneself to buffer the impact of
objective conditions; e.g., altering
depressogenic thinking, practicing moodenhancing cognitions ) .

Yes This study advances the evidence for
Bounce Back, a school-based intervention
aimed at elementary school students
exposed to traumatic events. Results show
that the Bounce Back intervention,
implemented by school-based mental
health professionals, is effective in treating
symptoms of posttraumatic stress and
improving coping skills for low-income and
highly stressed school-age children.

Yes To help make sense of this large, complex,
and continually evolving literature and
address some of the related controversies,
this review is designed as a primer for
practicing clinicians that poses and
answers several key questions: (a) Are
antidepressant medications effective for
treating child and adolescent depression?;
(b) How do antidepressants compare in
effectiveness to psychotherapy and their
combination?; (c) Do antidepressants
impact long term outcomes and risk of
relapse?; (d) Are antidepressants U.S.

Yes treatment effects were mediated by change
in action scores during the first 6 weeks
of treatment, with increases in action
scores related to greater improvement
in depression. Assessing readiness to
change may have implications for
tailoring treatments for depressed
adolescents.

heterosexual peers.
Future suicide prevention efforts targeting
sexual minority children could reduce these
disparities.

may result in fewer inpatients and a
reduction in Japan’s suicide rate.
