Recognizing and ManagingPediatric Suicidality   Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat49   Target Audience             This activity is targeted toward primary care and pediatric healthcare providers and advanced providers.   Statement of Need  Suicide is a major public health concern and the second leading cause of death for adolescents. Research suggests that many patients that commit suicide had seen a health care provider within two months preceding the event; yet, research also indicates that pediatricians may not feel adequately trained to manage behavioral health complaints, including suicidality. These factors reinforce the need for practitioners to screen patients for imminent suicidal risk. However, even if a screening assessment is utilized routinely, providers may not be fully comfortable managing a patient presenting an identified risk.  (Adolescent suicide: what can pediatricians do? Current Opinion; 2020)   Objectives  1.  At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:  2.  Describe the risk factors for suicidal idealization in the pediatric population.Discuss effective screening tools and implementation recommendations for suicidality. 3.  List components of the patient safety plan for the at-risk patient.   Moderator Erin Frazier, M.D. Pediatrician Norton Children's Medical Group Norton Healthcare Louisville, Kentucky   Speakers Katy Hopkins, M.D. Pediatric Psychologist Norton Children's Behavioral Health – Hikes Point Norton Healthcare Louisville, Kentucky   Moderator, Speaker and Planner Disclosures   The planners, speaker and moderator of this activity do not have any relevant relationships to disclose.    Commercial Support   There was no commercial support for this activity.    The National Suicide and crisis Hotline number is 988, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.   Physician Credits   Accreditation  Norton Healthcare is accredited by the Kentucky Medical Association to provide continuing medical education for physicians.   Designation  Norton Healthcare designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
