IMPORTANCE: Screening adolescents in emergency departments (EDs) for suicidal risk is a recommended strategy for suicide prevention. Comparing screening measures on predictive validity could guide ED clinicians in choosing a screening tool. OBJECTIVE: To compare the Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) instrument with the Computerized Adaptive Screen for Suicidal Youth (CASSY) instrument for the prediction of suicidal behavior among adolescents seen in EDs, across demographic and clinical strata.

Key takeaways: One in five children who died in 2022 died by suicide. Suicide prevention starts with a brief screening, followed by a safety assessment to determine what the patient needs next. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among youth in the United States, and pediatricians play an integral role in identifying patients who are at risk and connecting them to resources. One of the most effective ways to do that is through universal suicide risk screening. Lisa M.

Abstract The microvasculature within the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an essential role in cancer signaling beyond nutrient delivery. However, it has been challenging to control the generation and/or maintenance of microvasculature in ex vivo systems, a critical step for establishing cancer models of high clinical biomimicry.
