The health and economic outcomes of early egg introduction strategies.
This study compared the costs and benefits of early egg introduction (EEI) using simulation and Markov modeling over a 20-year horizon with data from the United States, Europe, and Canada. Per child it was more expensive to provide early screening for all children with early-onset eczema than to have a “wait and see” approach. While there would be more egg allergy diagnosis with early screening, the increased costs were too great compared to the no-screening approach.

"To screen or not to screen": comparing the health and economic benefits of early peanut introduction strategies in five countries.
This study compared the costs and benefits of early peanut introduction (EPI) using data from five countries: US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom. Per child it was more expensive to provide early screening for all children with early-onset eczema and/or egg allergy than to have a “wait and see” approach. While there would be more peanut allergy diagnosis with early screening, the increased costs were too great compared to the no-screening approach.

Physician intervention to positive depression screens among adolescents in primary care.
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of computer-based screening and physician feedback to guide adolescent depression management within primary care. The investigators found that when a computer-based decision support system algorithm focused on adolescent depression and was implemented in two primary care clinics, a majority of physicians utilized screening results to guide clinical care.

Suicide screening in primary care: use of an electronic screener to assess suicidality and improve provider follow-up for adolescents.
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using an existing computer decision support system to screen adolescent patients for suicidality and provide follow-up guidance to clinicians in a primary care setting. The authors concluded that incorporating adolescent suicide screening and provider follow-up guidance into an existing computer decision support system in primary care was feasible and well utilized by providers.

Screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The authors systematically reviewed evidence on benefits and harms of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) screening for the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). They concluded that screening can detect AIS. Also, bracing and possibly exercise treatment can interrupt or slow progression of curvature in adolescence. However, there is little or no evidence on long-term outcomes for AIS treated in adolescence.
