ANN ARBOR – Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a universal screening tool that accurately predicts the suicide risk of a teenagers during emergency care visits. According to the researchers, their suicidal risk level is determined using a combination of risk factors. AdWhile other suicide screening tools exist, King said many high risk young people slip through the cracks, and in some cases, some adolescents rank as “false positives” for suicide risk. The computerized screening tool predicted suicide risk with 88% accuracy when tested on two cohorts of adolescents ages 12-17 who visited emergency departments. Additionally, emergency departments recently reported that visits related to youth suicide risk and self-harm have doubled.

President Joe Biden signs his first executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, in Washington. Researchers at University of Michigan’s Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics are seeing some signs for optimism as they make forecasts looking ahead. “With the ongoing vaccine roll-out, the end of the pandemic is in sight, letting us focus on how the post-pandemic economy might look like.”Below are the U-M experts’ “five things to watch” and “five things to watch out for” in the country’s economy this year. Five things to watch for:Getting the vaccines out quickly is the most important economic/social task. Five things to watch out for:

DETROIT – If the COVID-19 vaccine works, why would someone still have to wear a mask and social distance after getting it? This appears to be enough protection to keep the vaccinated person from getting ill. Based on studies of flu vaccine and even patients infected with COVID-19, researchers have reason to be hopeful that vaccinated people won’t spread the virus, but more research is needed. While we’ve heard a lot about the negative 94 degrees the Pfizer vaccine requires, that is just for storage. The vaccine has to be thawed and brought up to room temperature before it can actually be given.

DETROIT Findings in a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London and Oxford University show Michigan Gov. The study examines the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions to fight the coronavirus, including stay-at-home orders, bans on gatherings and business and school closures, which decrease mobility significantly. Researchers determined states with highly aggressive restrictions experienced more success with reducing the spread of coronavirus. The study also found that among the Great Lakes states mobility decreased the most under Michigans lockdown. Rapid testing, contact tracing and behavioural precautions are crucial to offset the rise of transmission associated with loosening of social distancing, the study found.
