The Texas Youth Depression and Su***de Research Network (TX-YDSRN) recently published findings on patterns of substance use and mental health comorbidities in youth with a history of depression or suicidality: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165032724013636?via%3Dihub

Key takeaways:
1️⃣ Three patterns of past-year substance use were identified: non-use; moderate likelihood of using alcohol, ni****ne, and cannabis; and high likelihood of using all substances.
2️⃣ Youth in the high likelihood group were more likely to have a substance use disorder, ADHD, and higher suicidality.
3️⃣ These findings suggest universal screening for substance use among depressed youth would help increase early intervention and customized care.

CPAN’s regional teams of pediatric mental health experts can provide no-cost assistance to Texas clinicians. Call 888-901-CPAN to start a rapid, peer-to-peer consult.

On her experiences consulting with the Texas Tech Health El Paso team, Dr. Wawer-Chubb said: “CPAN services are awesome! They make it so easy to get in touch with a psychiatry colleague to go over cases that are more concerning or urgent."

When indicated, CPAN may recommend a one-time, patient-psychiatrist consult to clarify diagnosis and follow-up with treatment plans you can implement in a primary care setting, rather than waiting on an outpatient appointment with a specialist.
