Depression and suicide risk screening: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The objectives of this article were to review the benefits and harms of depression and suicide risk screening and treatment and the accuracy of instruments to detect these conditions in primary care patients. Evidence gathered from the literature search supported screening for depression in primary care settings, including during pregnancy and postpartum. The authors noted, however, that there were numerous important gaps in the evidence for suicide risk screening.

An evaluation of suicidal risk in bipolar patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder.
The impact of concurrent diagnosis posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on persons with bipolar disorder (BD) was analyzed to determine if there was a higher risk of suicidal ideation. Baseline data from the 482 individuals enrolled in the Clinical and Health Outcomes Initiative in Comparative Effectiveness for bipolar disorder study (Bipolar CHOICE) was used. The association of comorbid PTSD with increased suicidal ideation was assessed by the Concise Health Risk Tracking Scale (CHRT) total and factor scores. As the authors hypothesized, diagnosis of comorbid PTSD was a significant predictor of the CHRT total score. All participants with comorbid PTSD (n=58) endorsed current suicidal ideation and were more likely to have had a previous suicide attempt compared to those without PTSD.

Behavioral counseling to promote a healthful diet and physical activity for cardiovascular disease prevention in adults without known cardiovascular disease risk factors: updated evidence report and systematic review for the USPSTF
The researchers systematically reviewed the evidence on the benefits and harms of behavioral counseling for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults without known cardiovascular risk factors to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Diet and physical activity behavioral interventions were found to result in consistent modest benefits across a variety of important intermediate health outcomes across 6 to 12 months, including blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels, and adiposity.
