“…An alternative explanation for this pattern is that responses of community members living in neighborhoods with high education inequality may drive the higher rates of mobilization of youth psychiatric emergency services. Routine protocols to emergency behavioral health services generally require some level of school resources (e.g., school personnel prepared to call in psychiatric crises; Kodish et al, 2020). It is possible that in neighborhoods with low educational resources overall, such calls are simply not made (Kawachi & Berkman, 2014; Kirby & Kaneda, 2005).…”

This study examined neighborhood-level associations among child opportunity, opportunity inequality, racial composition, and frequency of youth psychiatric emergency responses in the nation’s largest county mental health system. Geo-coded data on mobile crisis response (MCR) services, neighborhood opportunity, and child racial/ethnic population were extracted for youth in Los Angeles County between 2016 and 2019 and examined in descriptive and Poisson regression analyses. Black and Multiracial youth were overrepresented in MCRs relative to their county representation. Larger concentrations of child racial/ethnic-minority populations, lower levels of opportunity, and higher levels of opportunity inequality were each associated with higher frequency of MCRs at the zip code level. In adjusted multivariate analyses, Black youth population density and higher education opportunity inequality predicted higher incidence of MCR response. Findings may reflect actual racial disparities in youth mental health need and/or institutional racial biases embedded within community responses to youth behavior.

“…According to Kodish et al (2020), school staff describe this assessment as necessary to ensure a student's safety, while students view the process as disciplinary despite being assured otherwise. Students also report perceptions that the risk assessment has a low threshold for moderate to high-risk profiles (Kodish et al, 2020). Research by Grudkinoff et al (2015b) supports this idea of a lower threshold, suggesting that many school referrals for suicidality may be inappropriate for ED-level intervention.…”

The number of youth Emergency Department (ED) visits due to mental health concerns has been steadily increasing with a large number of youth being referred from school. Despite the increase in ED visits, there has not been an increase in the number of students who are actually admitted to the hospital. Further, youth referred from school are more likely to be discharged from the ED. Given the unique relationship between school and ED referrals and the large number of youth who do not require hospitalization, this study sought to understand how schools are supporting students who return to school after an ED visit. We conducted a scoping review to identify programs and practices to support ED to school transition. Two reviewers screened 907 manuscripts, but none of the manuscripts met the inclusion criteria. We discuss the importance of supporting students returning to school from the ED and draw from the literature on hospital to school transition to make recommendations for educators.

“…Several studies have highlighted the importance of conducting such interviews of key stakeholders who might participate in safety planning, in order to identify their perceptions about implementing the intervention as well as potential barriers and their solutions (Kennard et al, 2015;Kodish et al, 2019;Niner et al, 2009). For instance, Kennard et al (2015) conducted qualitative interviews to assess parents', psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents' and clinicians' perceptions of the feasibility of a mobile-app safety plan implemented for suicidal adolescents and got different feedback based on the stakeholder group.…”

As efforts to develop models for suicide prevention and intervention in the juvenile justice (JJ) system continue to grow, research to understand the feasibility and acceptability of implementing these models is critical. Examining organizational readiness for implementation, ensuring leadership and staff buy‐in for delivering the intervention, and planning for sustainability of staff participation in implementation efforts is essential. The current study involved semi‐structured formative evaluation interviews with key JJ stakeholders (n = 10) to determine perspectives on the acceptability (perceived need and fit of the intervention) and feasibility (organizational readiness for change) of a proposed brief safety planning intervention for youth with suicidal ideation delivered by nonclinical staff and integrated into the existing system. Qualitative data revealed stakeholders' perceived need for the intervention in the family court context and their agreement that the aims of the intervention were congruent with the goals of the family court. Some barriers to successful implementation were noted, which, addressed through selection of appropriate implementation strategies, can be overcome in a future test of the safety intervention.
