Key points
- CDC data reportedly show teen girls faring worse than boys on mental health measures.
- A UCLA child psychiatry program director described caring for a girl who attempted suicide after a college rejection letter.
Limitations
Only a short excerpt is available, with no figures, methods or study details. It is a news analysis, not peer-reviewed research, so the type hint does not match, and the country (apparently the US) is not stated explicitly.
Abstract
In a plain‐language news analysis published at the end of March, data from the federal Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) shows that teen girls are faring worse on mental health measures than boys. Misty Richards, M.D., M.S., program director for UCLA's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship, recently cared for a girl who attempted suicide after receiving a college rejection letter, Richards said in an interview with JAMA.
