Management of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Youth

Management of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Youth: This systematic review will assess the effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and harms of treatments for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youths. If evidence is available, we will also assess how differences in effectiveness and harms are influenced by components of psychosocial treatments, and patient and environmental characteristics. This work will be used by the American Psychological Association to develop a new clinical practice guideline on this topic.
