Annotated Bib. (Gibbons)

Gibbons, Robert D., C Hendricks Brown, Kwan Hur, Sue M Marcus, et al. (2007). Early Evidence on the Effects of Regulators' Suicidality Warnings on SSRI Prescriptions and Suicide in Children and Adolescents. The American Journal of Psychiatry, 164(9), 1356-63. Retrieved February 25, 2008, from Research Library database. (Document ID: 1329950011).

In this article, Gibson et al., reports on the American and European public health warnings regarding the use of SSRI drugs in 2003 and 2004. Here he attempts to connect this warning with the decreased number of sales of SSRI drugs which then lead to the increased suicide rate on both continents. (8 pges)
