Ablechild’s
Statement on Teen Screen
“
Ablechild
strongly opposes Teen Screen. Giving teenagers subjective questionnaires
and surveys on suicidal behavior simply does not prevent or stop suicide.
This is risky research that lacks scientific merit. Teen Screen is nothing
more than the bio-behavioral health industry’s attempt to garner big
government funding for useless programs that profitably promote a course of
recommended psychotropic drug “treatment” which has been clearly linked to
suicide and violent behavior.”
