Abstract
Recent research has established emergency departments (ED) as essential venues for detecting youth at risk for suicide and suicide attempts. Anxiety disorders can be key risk factors of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It is noteworthy that subclinical anxiety symptoms are also linked to suicide risk in adolescents. Whereas it may be impractical to provide psychiatric assessments for all patients, identifying recent symptoms of anxiety may help to determine which patients are at elevated risk of suicide and warrant further mental health care. This study aims to assess whether patient-reported symptoms of anxiety are associated with suicide risk in pediatric patients presenting to the ED.
