To improve our understanding of the clinical needs among youth with suicidal ideation (SI), we examined health care utilization patterns, functional impairment and co-morbidity among youth who endorsed SI, compared to a control group of youth without SI. This study included 99 youth with SI in the past year and 99 matched controls. Participants were 13–17 year old youth who were enrolled in a large integrated care delivery system who had seen a provider at least one time in the past year. The two groups were compared with regard to health care utilization, functional impairment, and co-morbid mental health symptoms, while adjusting for depression severity, lifetime diagnosis of depression or anxiety, and medical co-morbidity. Youth with SI had a significantly higher mean functional impairment compared to youth without SI, both at baseline (84% versus 60% “definitely impaired”) and six-month follow up (57% versus 39% “definitely impaired”). Less than 15% in either group attended a mental health specialty visit in the 12 months before or after baseline, and under 10% received antidepressant or anxiolytic medication. Family-report data suggested that a higher proportion of youth with SI received mental health care from sources outside their healthcare system compared to youth without SI. The presence of SI is associated with more severe functional impairment, comorbidity, and depression severity. Yet, only a minority of adolescents with SI receive mental health services and clinical detection is low. This study suggests that better screening, recognition, and treatment of SI is needed to address the clinical impairment of youth with SI. While most youth with SI were receiving medical ambulatory care visits, a very low percentage received mental health care, despite the fact that the presence of SI was associated with more severe functional impairment and co-morbidity.
