View Calendar Year Update, 2008 (PDF, HTML)
Description:

Suicide is a leading cause of mortality among children, and the only cause of death that is currently increasing in rate. There has been recently been an explosion in the prescription of antidepressant drugs to ambulatory child patients, and there is concern that these drugs may sometimes have an adverse effect of increasing the risk of suicidal behavior. The PhaST project uses health information technology to assist clinicians in closely monitoring children taking antidepressant drugs, so that adverse effects like suicidality can be detected early, preventing harm to patients.
