MINUTES-Draft <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> April 26, 2023 <br /> Alison Stuebe <br /> Dr. Stuebe thanked Ms. Stewart, Ms. Crews and their team for all of their hard work and <br /> help with logistics involving the PCORI Thriving Hearts grant application. <br /> Aparna Jonnal <br /> Dr. Jonnal spoke on pediatric mental illness and commented that the Youth Risk Behavior <br /> Survey (YRBS) may provide some data on youth mental health (in response to Ms. Royce's <br /> earlier comments). Dr. Jonnal stated that she believed that, unlike the previous <br /> administration, the next YRBS will automatically be opt-in with an opt-out option. Ms. <br /> Stewart added that they're completed every 2 years. <br /> Rachel Royce <br /> In response to Ms. Royce's question, Ms. Stewart stated that she can pull the last YRBS <br /> and that the SOTCH does include that information. Ms. Royce requested to have a <br /> breakdown of OC's youth mental health data. She also mentioned an article that spoke <br /> about a national trend of suicide in men. She wanted to know if OC is experiencing that <br /> same trend. Ms. Crews added that there is a Firearms Safety Committee (FSC), in which, <br /> we have representation on. She stated that they also discuss adolescent suicides. Ms. <br /> Crews also stated that the FSC may have some information they'd be able to report. <br /> IV.
