“…Providing mental health services within the school context is a sensible method of addressing some of the most common barriers to treatment seeking among adolescents in rural areas (Owens, Murphy, Richerson, Girio, & Himawan, 2008;Owens, Watabe, & Michael, 2013). Advocacy organizations such as the North Carolina Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force, a group supported by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine (NCIOM), have recommended that school mental health (SMH) programs lead some of the broad-based suicide prevention efforts (NCIOM, 2012).…”

The disparity between urban and rural suicide rates is increasing. In response to thismajor public health problem, clinicians and schoolmental health researchers designed a systematic crisis intervention protocol to be used with adolescents presenting with suicidal or homicidal ideation. The prevention of escalating adolescent crisis events (PEACE) protocol is a comprehensive risk assessment designed for use by licensed clinicians working collaboratively with school personnel. A revised and extended version of the PEACE protocol was employed during 68 crisis events involving 42 high school students in 2013-14. These results and clinical implications of utilizing a systematic protocol to address potential suicidal or violence threats are discussed.

“…Therefore, creating more integrated environments where people can receive care with fewer barriers holds promise for increasing access and reducing stigma related to mental health care. This calls for providing substantive mental health treatment in settings people routinely go to beyond hospitals including school settings, especially in rural areas (Owens, Watabe, & Michael, 2013).…”

Research on psychologists in integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) remains sparse (McDaniel et al., 2014) and appears non-existent for rurally located psychologists. A study of doctoral-level licensed psychologists practicing in rurally located IBHC settings was conducted. The study had three main objectives: to understand the nature of the work of rural psychologists in IBHC, to explore what impacts the rural and IBHC setting have on psychologists, and to identify the characteristics that psychologists perceive as important for working effectively in rurally located IBHC settings. Eight participants completed in-person semi-structured interviews. A qualitative methodological approach using Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) (Hill et al., 2005) focused on accumulating information-rich data that may be relevant (Packer, 2010)

“…Sleep deprivation among adolescents is a significant public health problem that, regardless of geographic location, occurs at alarmingly high rates. School-based health centers (SBHC) and school mental health (SMH) programs represent feasible and responsive approaches to addressing co-occurring problems of sleep deprivation and mental health ailments among rural adolescents (Guo, Wade, & Keller, 2008; Mason-Jones et al, 2012; Michael, Renkert, Wandler, & Stamey, 2009; Owens, Watabe, & Michael, 2013). Such programs have been demonstrated to be effective in the provision of high quality health care and mental health services provided at no cost to youth and families and have been shown to be effective at ameliorating psychological distress among rural adolescents (Albright et al, 2013).…”

Numerous studies have demonstrated that most adolescents do not get adequate amounts of sleep. Furthermore, insufficient sleep is associated with increased risk for depression and suicide attempts as well as substance abuse in adolescence. However, extant studies have relied primarily on national samples or suburban adolescents, with a paucity of research examining the associations between sleep duration and mental health and substance abuse risk in rural adolescents. Additionally, these associations rarely have been examined within a developmental context. The present study attempted to address these gaps by using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) to examine the associations between sleep duration and risk factors in the lower and upper grade levels for high school students attending schools in rural areas. YRBS data were obtained from 2 rural school districts located in the Appalachian region of North Carolina (n ϭ 987). For the full sample, approximately 40% of students reported receiving 6 or fewer hours of sleep on a typical school night. High school students in the lower grades (9th and 10th) who reported short sleep duration were more likely to have endorsed each of the mental health, suicidal behavior, and substance use items. Significant differences emerged between sleep groups on suicide attempts and alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use for students in the upper grade levels. We conclude that short sleep duration is problematic in rural high school students, especially for those students recently transitioning from middle school to high school. These findings can inform identification, prevention, and intervention strategies to encourage and promote healthy sleep habits among rural adolescents.
