Overview: The prevalence of anxiety and depression has been increasing in US youth over the past decade with noted increases during the pandemic. The USPSTF recently released its recommendations supporting general screening for depression in 12- to 18-year-olds. Join us while we discuss the recommendations, the basis for these recommendations, how to integrate them into practice, and some strategies on how to support adolescents and families with a positive screen.
