TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Suicidal behaviour in transition-aged youth with out-of-home care experience: Reviewing risk, assessment, and intervention JO - Child and family social work A1 - Katz, C.C. A1 - Busby, D. A1 - McCabe, C. SP - 611 EP - 618 VL - 25 IS - 3 N2 - The rates of suicidal behaviours in youth with out-of-home care experience, particularly those who are on the verge of emancipation, appear to be alarmingly high. The purpose of the current study is to highlight the rates of suicidal ideation and behaviour in these youth, illuminating the empirical risk factors that may increase their vulnerability. We offer a review of screening measures and suicide interventions that may hold promise for administrators, practitioners, and researchers who wish to provide comprehensive assessment for transition-aged youth with out-of-home care experiences and effectively treat those who may be at the highest risk. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd
