Data linkage strategies to advance youth suicide prevention: a systematic review for a National Institutes of Health Pathways to Prevention Workshop.
This review sought to identify and describe data systems that can be linked to data from prevention studies to advance youth suicide prevention research. It concluded that there is untapped potential to evaluate and enhance suicide prevention efforts by linking suicide prevention data with existing data systems. However, sparse availability of data dictionaries and lack of adherence to standard data elements limit this potential.

Programs for the prevention of youth depression: evaluation of efficacy, effectiveness, and readiness for dissemination.
This study used the Society for Prevention Research's Standards of Evidence to evaluate the degree to which existing depression prevention programs have established intervention efficacy, effectiveness, and readiness for dissemination. The authors concluded that although several programs have demonstrated promise in terms of efficacy, no depression prevention program for children or adolescents has garnered sufficient evidence of effectiveness under real-world conditions to warrant widespread dissemination.

U.S. Preventive Services Task Force approach to child cognitive and behavioral health.
The authors described the meaning of the USPSTF grades, how these grades are determined, and the grades assigned to childhood cognitive, affective, and behavioral health recommendations. They summarized common themes in the evidence gaps and the future research necessary to advance the field and improve child health outcomes.

Lipid Screening in childhood and adolescence for detection of familial hypercholesterolemia: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers systematically reviewed the evidence on benefits and harms of screening adolescents and children for heterozygous Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) for the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). They found no evidence for the effect of screening for FH in childhood on lipid concentrations or cardiovascular outcomes in adulthood, or on the long-term benefits or harms of beginning lipid-lowering treatment in childhood.

Lipid screening in childhood and adolescence for detection of multifactorial dyslipidemia: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers systematically reviewed the evidence on benefits and harms of screening adolescents and children for multifactorial dyslipidemia for the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). They concluded that diagnostic yield of lipid screening varies by age and body mass index. No direct evidence was identified for benefits or harms of childhood screening or treatment on outcomes in adulthood. Intensive dietary interventions may be safe, with modest short-term benefit of uncertain clinical significance.
