Abstract
The current study explores depressive trends among a subset of adolescents presenting to an emergency department (ED) from 2018 to 2024. Using survey data from a larger clinical trial, we will employ a segmented regression to compare trends pre- and post-COVID19. Findings from this study can inform ED resource allocation.
