TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Evaluation and management of suicidal ideation and self-harm in children in the emergency department JO - Pediatric emergency medicine practice A1 - Foster, Ashley A.

SP - 1 EP - 28 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - Suicide is a leading cause of death among youth, and the emergency department (ED) serves as the primary point of healthcare contact for many with suicidal ideation. As suicide-related presentations to the ED continue to rise, the implementation of time- and cost-effective care pathways becomes ever more critical. Evidence-based tools for the identification and stratification of suicide risk can aid in clinical decision-making and care linkage. This issue reviews best practices for suicide risk assessment of youth to guide evaluation, management, and disposition planning within the ED setting.
