Association between depressive symptoms and subsequent injuries in early adolescents: a population-based study.

CONCLUSIONS: DSs strongly increase the injury risk in early adolescents. Injury prevention should include DSs screening and monitoring and help adolescents and their neighborhood be aware of the risk. Highlights Injuries and depressive symptoms (DSs) are frequent in early adolescents. DSs highly predict subsequent school and out-of-school injuries and cumulating several injury types. These results are robust after adjustment for socioeconomic features, being obese, alcohol use, tobacco use and poor health status. Injury prevention should include early DSs screening and monitoring and help adolescents and their neighborhood be aware of the risk. PMID: 33555969 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
