The study of effect moderation in youth suicide-prevention studies.
A systematic review was conducted focusing on identifying youth suicide-prevention studies within the United States. This paper reports on the methods utilized for understanding possible moderators of suicide-prevention program outcomes. The investigators found that only a small percentage of the reviewed articles assessed moderation effects. They assert that this is a substantial research gap driven by sample size or other limitations which have impeded the identification of intervention effect heterogeneity.

Youth cognitive-behavioral depression prevention: testing theory in a randomized controlled trial.
This study tested the plausibility of a theoretical model of change for the Penn Resiliency Program (PRP), a cognitive-behavioral (CB) depression prevention program for adolescents. The authors assert that when effective, PRP's CB training provides incremental value over non-specific components and there are indirect effects on depressive symptoms through improvements in explanatory style.

Development of new quality measures for hospital-based care of suicidal youth.
This study researched the value of 4 new quality measures developed to assess hospital-based care for suicidal youth. The four quality measures focused on counseling caregivers about restricting access to lethal means of self-harm, and the benefits and risks of antidepressant medications. They were divided into measures for the emergency department (ED) and inpatient measures. Survey field tests were conducted with caregivers of youth who were admitted to the ED or inpatient care for suicidality at 1 of 2 children’s hospitals between July 2013 and June 2014. Most caregivers did receive counseling about restricting their child’s access to lethal means of self-harm and also reported higher rates of counseling of benefits on antidepressants both in the ED and in the inpatient setting than the risks.

Identifying moderators of response to the Penn Resiliency Program: a synthesis study.
Researchers sought to identify moderators of a cognitive-behavioral depression prevention program's effect on depressive symptoms among youth in early adolescence. Data from three randomized controlled trials of the Penn Resiliency Program (PRP) were aggregated to maximize statistical power and sample diversity. The primary analyses suggested that PRP's effects are limited to youth whose parents are unmarried.
