Abstract
Despite decades of suicide prevention research and advances in clinical practice, suicide rates among youth-especially youth from minoritized racial, ethnic, and sexual identity groups, and living in rural populations-have rapidly increased since 2010.1,2 Because of the rising suicide rates in the United States, the US Surgeon General called mental health the "defining health crisis of our time."3 Although there was a decline in the overall suicide rates for people aged 10 to 14 years and those aged 15 to 24 years, with rates falling by 18% and 9%, respectively, in 20224 and reduced suicidal ideation and behavior for some youth in 2023,5 suicide is still the second and third leading cause of death for youth in these age groups, showing the magnitude of this public health problem.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
