    Abstract Objectives: Mindful Awareness and Resilience Skills for Adolescents (MARS-A) is a mindfulness-based intervention adapted for the adolescent population. While previous studies have explored the benefits of MARS-A in various single-diagnosis populations, the aim of this study was to assess MARS-A for a heterogenous clinical adolescent population with mental health and/or chronic diagnoses, focusing on the underlying suffering present in all these conditions rather than its effects on a single diagnosis itself.
    Methods: Qualitative data was collected through interviews to understand post-intervention participant perspectives and experiences. Quantitative data was collected through measures to investigate preliminary secondary outcomes.
    Results: After participating in MARS-A, participants reported qualitative benefits in enhanced well-being, including coping with difficult emotions and managing sleep and/or pain. Quantitative results showed a reduction in functional disability, psychological distress, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms; increase in positive affect; and benefit in coping with pain and chronic conditions.
    Conclusions: MARS-A shows great potential in a heterogeneous clinical adolescent population.

    Abstract British Columbia is the epicentre of the opioid crisis in North America. Illicit drug toxicity is now one of the top 3 causes of death for adolescents in British Columbia. Evidence informed treatment is available but adolescents rarely receive it. Non-fatal toxicity can provide an opportunity to intervene. Since 2018, paediatricians in British Columbia have been offering admission, involuntary if necessary, to adolescents presenting to hospital after a life-threatening illicit drug toxicity. This brief stay, termed "stabilization care," offers medical and psychiatric assessments, withdrawal management and initiation of opioid agonist therapy and discharge planning. Hospital policies, procedures and protocols were revised to support the unique needs of this population. Early experience with 17 adolescents shows relatively high attachment to treatment services and opioid agonist treatment, suggesting that paediatric interdisciplinary teams, working strategically, can improve care for adolescents in the face of the opioid epidemic.

    Abstract Objective: Somatization is a common phenomenon that can severely complicate youths' functioning and health. The burden of somatization on pediatric acute care settings is currently unclear; better understanding it may address challenges clinicians experience in effectively caring for somatizing patients. In this study, we estimate the prevalence of somatization in a pediatric emergency department (ED).
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of visits for non-critical, non-mental health-related concerns (n = 150) to a quaternary-level pediatric ED between July 2016 and August 2017. Demographic and clinical visit details were collected through chart review and used by two reviewing clinicians to classify whether each visit had a "probable," "unclear" (possible), or "unlikely" somatizing component.
    Results: Approximately 3.33% (n = 5) of youth displayed probable somatization, and an additional 13.33% (n = 20) possibly experienced a somatizing component but require additional psychosocial and visit documentation to be certain. Longer symptom duration and multiple negative diagnostic tests were associated with a higher likelihood of either probable or possible somatization.
    Conclusions: A considerable proportion of non-mental health-related visits may involve a somatizing component, indicating the burden of mental health concerns on the ED may be underestimated. A higher index of suspicion for the possibility of somatization may support clinicians in managing somatizing patients.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Buprenorphine extended-release (BUP-XR) is a monthly injectable form of opioid agonist therapy. Before its administration, a minimum 7-day induction period with a transmucosal buprenorphine-containing product is recommended.
    Methods: Case report (n = 1).
    Results: A 16-year-old female with active, severe opioid use disorder (OUD) and stimulant use disorder, hepatitis C virus, co-occurring mental health disorders, and complex social stressors had five recent overdoses requiring naloxone. She had previously been treated with methadone and several trials of sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone, but would quickly discontinue the treatment. Using a rapid micro-induction protocol, buprenorphine/naloxone was administered for 3 days. On day 4, 300 mg BUP-XR was administered subcutaneously. Minimal withdrawal symptoms occurred, despite recent fentanyl use.
    Discussion and conclusions: A rapid sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone micro-induction was successfully used to initiate BUP-XR, thereby eliminating the abstinence period prior to buprenorphine/naloxone administration, shortening the induction period, and minimizing withdrawal.
    Scientific significance: This is the first reported case of using rapid micro-induction as a bridge to initiate BUP-XR. By reducing the length of induction to 4 days and minimizing withdrawal, this induction method can make BUP-XR more accessible to patients who would otherwise refuse the medication due to concerns of enduring withdrawal. (Am J Addict 2020;29:531-535).

    Abstract Positive youth development (PYD) is a strong and growing field that complements the traditional problem-focused view of youth, and describes and promotes the healthy development and positive outcomes of young people. The PYD perspective can be applied in clinical and community intervention settings. Frameworks such as the "Five Cs" and the Search Institute's developmental assets model have guided researchers and practitioners in better understanding the process of PYD and the effectiveness of community interventions to promote PYD. The PYD literature lacks a coherent guiding framework to describe gender differences in positive development, which in turn could guide community and clinical interventions designed to help young men thrive.

    Abstract Aim: First use of opioids often happens in adolescence and an increasing number of opioid overdoses are being reported among youth. The purpose of this narrative review was to present the treatment approaches for youth with high-risk opioid use, determine whether the literature supports the use of opioid agonist treatment among youth and identify evidence for better treatment outcomes in the younger population.
    Methods: A search of the literature on PubMed using MeSH terms specific to youth, opioid use and treatment approaches generated 1436 references. Following a screening process, 137 papers were found to be relevant to the treatment of high-risk opioid use among youth. After full-text review, 19 eligible studies were included: four randomized controlled trials, nine observational studies and six reviews.
    Results: Research for the different treatment options among youth is limited. The available evidence shows better outcomes in terms of retention in care and cost-effectiveness for opioid agonist treatment than abstinence-based comparisons. Integrating psychosocial interventions into the continuum of care for youth can be an effective way of addressing comorbid psychiatric conditions and emotional drivers of substance use, leading to improved treatment trajectories.
    Conclusions: From the limited findings, there is no evidence to deny youth with high-risk opioid use the same treatment options available to adults. A combination of pharmacological and youth-specific psychosocial interventions is required to maximize retention and survival. There is an urgent need for more research to inform clinical strategies toward appropriate treatment goals for such vulnerable individuals.
