A new study sheds light on the escalating youth suicide crisis, revealing that emergency room visits for suicidal thoughts among kids and teens steeply increased even before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nov. 14, 2022 –
Researchers looked at data for 81,105 emergency room visits across 205 Illinois hospitals from 2016 to 2021 for kids between the ages of 5 to 19. The new research is being called a benchmark because it evaluates emergency room data for suicidal thoughts – a critical point-of-care for serving youths' mental health needs. The data showed that providers were increasingly likely to list suicidal thoughts as the main diagnosis.
The researchers hypothesize that care between 2019 was delayed in the early days of the pandemic, and that delay possibly contributed to the increase in providers identifying suicidal ideation as the main diagnosis.
