Agreed, the system is indeed broken. That's why improving access to *effective* treatment is what matters - not access to just anything!

Jessica Schleider, PhD @jschleiderphd.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Key takeaway - requiring parental consent may be a major barrier to tx access for many teens w/ depression. 1 solution=ensuring safe onramps to effective MH tx for teens whose parent(s) are unable/unwilling to consent. Another=increased MH literacy training for parents. Multi-pronged approach!

The 'unlicensed' therapists would not be covered under these laws anyway - so I agree that protections against harms are essential, but I think it's a separate issue than state laws requiring consent for formal treatment with licensed therapists!

5/ To complement our paper, we've created an interactive dashboard on state policies and rates of treatment access among teens with past-year depression: www.schleiderlab.org/dashboard.html

4/ Even the most scalable interventions are powerless if adolescents are legally disempowered from using them. It is an ethical imperative to create safe, barrier-free pathways for teens to independently access potentially life-saving mental health supports.

141

Jessica Schleider, PhD @jschleiderphd.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

3/ Specifically: In states that always prohibited independent adolescent consent, only 37.23% of adolescents with a past-year depressive episode received any treatment in 2021-2022, versus 46.69% in states allowing adolescents to consent with no or limited stipulations.

110

Jessica Schleider, PhD @jschleiderphd.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

2/ One third of U.S. states have laws that prevent adolescents from consenting to mental health treatment independently. We found that treatment use among adolescents with a past-year major depressive episode was significantly lower in states mandating caregiver consent.

📢 Our lab's latest, out today in JAMA Pediatrics: "State Parental Consent Law and Treatment Use Among Adolescents With Depression" jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... TL;DR Teens with depression living in states that require parent consent for mental health treatment may be less likely to access care 🧵

"Talking to a friend" would be a neat control! Not much work there outside "peer support" which feels different.

I understand that there are well meaning, thoughtful people on the APCS executive committee, but this statement is so thoroughly and deeply disappointing. This falls short. I can't say it any other way. We need a movement that seriously considers the total abolition of internship. Full stop.

yes, additionally! My assumption was that you'd have already consulted your mentors throughout the process -- and also your mentors might not have the specific type of job that you're now considering (mine didn't!)

Jessica Schleider, PhD @jschleiderphd.bsky.social · 03/10/2023

Once offer(s) are in hand, reach out to 2-3 people who've navigated negotiations for a similar position (type of dept/school, rank, funding structure) and aren't your mentors. Talk thru your situation w them & get advice on what (not) to ask for. This was super helpful for me!!

I may have overcommitted to a comical degree on NIH submissions this cycle, but on the bright side, maybe our modal grumpy reviewer comment will finally evolve from "I've never heard of single-session interventions, so they probably aren't a thing" to "this again?!?"
