(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Suicide and accidental injuries such as alcohol-related deaths and accidental overdose are among the top five leading causes of death among female adolescents. Compared to the general population of female adolescents, females with juvenile justice and child welfare involvement are at a higher risk for pregnancy, suicide and substance abuse. A new paper by University of Oregon researchers, published in the June 2022 issue of Children and Youth Services Review, finds that pregnancy loss may exacerbate the risks for suicide attempts. The findings suggest that supportive care, including screening, referrals, and therapeutic support, is needed for justice and foster care involved females who experience pregnancy loss.
