Abstract
Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often experience significant distress related to the diagnosis and treatment of their medical condition. Due to disease-related distress, children and adolescents with chronic illness demonstrate higher rates of anxiety and depression and are at increased risk for suicide than their healthy counterparts. Screening for suicide risk is a critical component of providing youth with appropriate mental health services and has been shown to decrease the risk of suicide attempts in adults by 20% when combined with intervention.
