Evaluating the predictive validity of suicidal intent and medical lethality in youth.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (2012)

Jeffrey Sapyta David B. Goldston Alaattin Erkanli Stephanie S. Daniel Nicole Heilbron

To examine whether suicidal intent and medical lethality of past suicide attempts are predictive of future attempts, the association between intent and lethality, and the consistency of these characteristics across repeated attempts among youth.Suicide attempts in a 15-year prospective study of 180 formerly psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents (M(age at hospitalization) = 14.83; 51% female; 80% Caucasian) were characterized with the Subjective Intent Rating Scale and Lethality of Attempt Rating Scale. Anderson-Gill recurrent events survival models and generalized estimating equations were used to assess predictive validity. Generalized linear models were used to examine stability of characteristics across attempts.Neither intent nor lethality from the most recent attempt predicted future attempts. The highest level of intent and most severe lethality of attempts during the follow-up predicted subsequent attempts, but the degree to which highest intent and most severe lethality contributed to prediction after considering methods of suicide attempts, past number of attempts, or psychiatric diagnoses was mixed. Across successive attempts, there was little consistency in reported characteristics. Intent and lethality were related to each other only for attempts occurring in early adulthood.Highest intent and lethality were better predictors of future attempts than intent and lethality of the most recent attempt. However, these characteristics should be considered as predictors only within the context of other factors. For youth, clinicians should not infer true intent from the lethality of attempts, nor assume that characteristics of future suicide attempts will be similar to those of previous attempts.

Engaging Youth Advocates in Community-Based Participatory Research on Child Farmworker Health in North Carolina

Progress in community health partnerships (2019)

Taylor J. Arnold Andreina Malki Jackeline Leyva J. Ibarra Stephanie S. Daniel

Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) investigators and Student Action with Farmworkers' (SAF) Levante Leadership Institute, a farmworker youth program, are collaborating on a community-based participatory research (CBPR) study.1) Describe the collaborative process between WFSM investigators and the Levante advisory board during the strategic planning and implementation phase and 2) highlight practices that support the collaboration and project success.The longitudinal Hired Child Farmworker Study examines the health and safety of hired Latino child farm-workers in North Carolina. Two Levante alumni co- investigators lead research-related activities with the Levante advisory board.Challenges to CBPR with youth are overcome by the longstanding partnership between WFSM and SAF, attention to logistical details, power sharing, building on shared values, and assessment of youth preferences.The partnership between WFSM and Levante demonstrates the mutual benefit of CBPR and will continue during the upcoming study phases.

Coping in the Aftermath of Youth's Suicidal Behaviors: A Comparison of Black Mothers and White Mothers

Family Relations (2020)

Otima Doyle Bridget E. Weller David B. Goldston Alfiee M. Breland‐Noble Sue E. Estroff

Objective To better understand Black mothers' and White mothers' qualitative reactions to their adolescents' hospitalizations due to suicide attempts. Background Caregivers of youth with suicidal behaviors play a vital role in youth's subsequent treatment and recovery. Yet little attention has been paid to how they are affected by youth's psychiatric hospitalizations or how their reactions may be influenced by race. Method Twenty Black mothers ( M age = 42.50; SD = 8.48) and 20 White mothers ( M age = 44.85; SD = 6.86) were randomly selected from data originally collected for a larger longitudinal, mixed method, multisite study. Data analysis was informed by grounded theory methodology. Results Four themes emerged from the data: mothers' emotional distress; mothers' coping, needs, and supports; mothers' perceived need for increased monitoring; and improved mother–child relationships. Conclusions Black mothers and White mothers largely had similar reactions to youth's hospitalizations; however, nuanced differences also were noted regarding how they described their experiences and what they emphasized. Implications During discharge planning, mothers need additional support (beyond referrals) in their roles as caregivers and for their own coping. Additional clinical and research implications are discussed.

Review of Literature on Aftercare Services Among Children and Adolescents

Psychiatric Services (2004)

Stephanie S. Daniel David B. Goldston Ashley E. Harris Arthur E. Kelley Guy K. Palmes

OBJECTIVE: Psychiatric hospital lengths of stay have decreased for children and adolescents, in part because of the presumption that aftercare services in the community are effective and accessible. This review critically examines the literature that pertains to the rates of aftercare service use, the effectiveness of aftercare services, and predictors of aftercare service use. METHODS: Studies were selected on the basis of MEDLINE and PsychINFO computer searches, covering the period between January 1992 and August 2003. Reports that were selected (N=21) included data on outpatient aftercare service use among youths who were aged 18 years and younger and who were discharged from child and adolescent inpatient facilities. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A majority of youths received aftercare services after hospitalization, but many youths and families were not fully compliant with aftercare recommendations. Many youths and families continued to receive services up to three months after hospitalization. The literature documents only a small amount of evidence about the effectiveness of aftercare services, but the evidence suggested that aftercare services for youths with substance use problems may have beneficial effects. Few studies examined predictors of aftercare service use and discontinuation, but previous recent mental health service use and decreased family dysfunction appeared to be related to aftercare service use.

Community-engaged research in translational science: Innovations to improve health in Appalachia

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (2021)

Scott D. Rhodes Parissa J. Ballard Keena R. Moore Karen Klein Isaiah Randall

Health disparities between Appalachia and the rest of the country are widening. To address this, the Appalachian Translational Research Network (ATRN) organizes an annual ATRN Health Summit. The most recent Summit was held online September 22-23, 2020, and hosted by Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute in partnership with the Northwest Area Health Education Center. The Summit, titled "Community-Engaged Research in Translational Science: Innovations to Improve Health in Appalachia," brought together a diverse group of 141 stakeholders from communities, academic institutions, and the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) to highlight current research, identify innovative approaches to translational science and community-engaged research, develop cross-regional research partnerships, and establish and disseminate priorities for future Appalachian-focused research. The Summit included three plenary presentations and 39 presentations within 12 concurrent breakout sessions. Here, we describe the Summit planning process and implementation, highlight some of the research presented, and outline nine emergent themes to guide future Appalachian-focused research.

A pilot study on religiousness/spirituality and ADHD

International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health (2007)

Rachel E. Dew Stephanie S. Daniel Harold G. Koenig

The phenomena of religiousness and spirituality bear on issues of personal behavioral control and interpersonal relationships. Behavioral control and social relationships can be affected by attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).The object ofthis pilot study was to explore possible connections between religiousness/spirituality and the clinical diagnosis ADHD. A group of adolescent psychiatric outpatients (n=117) completed the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality. Clinical diagnosis was obtained from the clinic chart.Logistic regression modeling revealed no significant relation between the various dimensions of religiousness/spirituality and diagnosis of ADHD.The findings presented here are in need of replication but could add to clinical understanding of ADHD.

Impact of Patients’ Psychiatric Hospitalization on Caregivers: A Systematic Review

Psychiatric Services (2015)

Bridget E. Weller Madelaine Faulkner Otima Doyle Stephanie S. Daniel David B. Goldston

A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the impact of patients' psychiatric hospitalizations on caregivers.A systematic search of the Web of Knowledge, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE (PubMed) was conducted for peer-reviewed articles published in English before August 31, 2013. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies were included if they focused on the outcomes of caregivers of either adult or youth patients and presented data collected directly from caregivers of patients who had been psychiatrically hospitalized.Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria. The review found that caregivers are heterogeneous in their reaction to patients' psychiatric hospitalization; however, many report distress. Many caregivers have reported experiencing stigma, disruptions in daily life, worse general medical health, economic strain, and changes in relationships after hospitalization. Negative reactions to the hospitalization may decrease over time, but distress can remain elevated compared with the general population. Nonetheless, many caregivers have also reported experiencing positive changes as a result of the hospitalization. The reaction of caregivers may be influenced by the severity of the patient's psychiatric problems as well as the caregiver's demographic characteristics and style of coping.Caregivers experience a range of reactions to psychiatric hospitalizations. Providing caregivers with psychoeducation about their possible reaction to hospitalization and teaching them coping techniques may improve clinical outcomes for patients. Future research is needed to understand the heterogeneity in caregivers' reactions to patients' psychiatric hospitalization.

Interventions for Suicidal Youth: A Review of the Literature and Developmental Considerations

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior (2009)

Stephanie S. Daniel David B. Goldston

Suicidal behavior is developmentally mediated, but the degree to which interventions for suicidal behaviors have been developmentally tailored has varied widely. Published controlled studies of psychosocial treatment interventions for reducing adolescent suicidal behavior are reviewed, with a particular emphasis on the developmental nuances of these interventions. In addition, developmental considerations important in the treatment of suicidal adolescents are discussed. There are insufficient data available from controlled trials to recommend one intervention over another for the treatment of suicidal youth, but interventions that are sensitive to the multiple developmental contexts have potential for greater effectiveness in reducing adolescent suicidal behavior.
