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.

Screening for major depressive disorder in children and adolescents: a systematic review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
This report updates the 2009 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) systematic review on screening for and treatment of Major depressive disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents in primary care settings. No evidence was found of a direct link between screening children and adolescents for MDD in primary care or similar settings and depression or other health-related outcomes. Evidence showed that some screening tools are accurate.
