This study discussed the trends and characteristics of mental health services in the public libraries of North America. To accomplish this, this study collected its data through literature surveys, observations and interviews with librarians within the Vancouver public library system. The results show that there were many cases in which patrons asked public libraries for information on their mental health problems and the public libraries helped the patrons cope with their problems. The public libraries' assistance programs for national tragedies and natural disasters were temporary services. On the other hand, public libraries were continuously advising and guiding patrons dealing with emotional and psychological problems through the readers' advisory and information services. Specifically, public libraries were actively assisting various sensitive issues that are generated in the development of children and youths(for example, adoption, divorce and separation, remarriage, family, friendship, disabilities, death, self-esteem, emotions, bulling, violence, abuse, suicide, illness, addiction, sexual health, youth pregnancy and so on). The key role of librarians under these circumstances was to guide and recommend appropriate books and professional institutions that help solve the problems.

South Korea has long been a culturally homogenous society, yet the increasing number of immigrants has turned the country into a multicultural society. Therefore, many empirical studies have investigated the way immigrants adapt to the Korean society and its associated factors. However, examining the overall process of migration (from family separation to reunification and cultural adaptation to the host society) that immigrant youth usually experience has been understudied. Previous empirical research and theoretical work have identified prominent factors that predict immigrant youth's mental health: experiences of family separation, living with others rather than primary caretakers during the separation, the length of residency in the host society, and family and peer support. In this respect, this exploratory and preliminary study that examined whether the experience of migration process and post-migration are related to Korean immigrant youth's mental health problems (depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation). The result indicated that longer duration of family separation; living with relatives, siblings; and friends rather than primary caretakers during the separation; receiving less support from family and peer after migration; and a lower degree of cultural adaptation to Korean culture were associated with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Drawing upon the results, this study discussed implications for policy and practice.

The Korea Convergence Society. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of suicidal attitude, perception of life, and depression on adolescents' suicide(ideation, plans, attempts). Data on general characteristics, the Attitude Toward Suicide, the Perception about Life, and the Korean version of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised were collected in 889 second-year middle school students in the I area. Two hundreds forty six students (27.67%) indicated they had suicide ideation, 85 had suicide plans (9.56%), and 46 had suicide attempts (5.17%). The proportion of female students was significantly higher than that of male students. The suicide indices (ideation, plans, attempts) increased as one shows lower body image satisfaction, higher depression, lower subjective mental and physical health, and lower leisure satisfaction. Predictors of suicide ideation included suicidal attitude (solution and permissiveness), depression, subjective mental health, and body image satisfaction. Predictors of the suicide plan were permissiveness and solution among suicidal attitude, and depression, subjective mental health, and those of suicide attempts were permissiveness and depression. Conclusion: This study suggests that much effort is required to decrease depression and improve perception of life and suicidal attitude in the suicide prevention education for adolescents.

목 적 : 본 연구의 목적은 치료저항성 뚜렛장애를 가진 소아 청소년들에 대해서 보조운동영역을 표적으로 한 저빈도 반복적 경두개자기자극술의 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 방 법 : 이 연구는 미국정신의학회 진단기준 및 통계편람, 제 4판을 기준으로 뚜렛장애로 진단받은 10명의 소아 청소년(평균연령 $12.56{\pm}1.04$세)을 대상으로 하였다. 모든 참가자들은 1년 이상 지속적으로 충분한 용량의 약물치료를 받았음에도 불구하고 한국판 예일 틱 증상 평가척도(YGTSS) 20점 이상, 임상인상척도(CGI-TS) 4점 이상을 받았다. 참가자들은 보조운동영역을 표적으로 1 Hz 반복적 경두개자기자극 치료를 매일 20분간 받았으며, 총 20회 치료를 받았다. YGTSS, CGI-TS 및 이상반응 체크리스트는 연구 시작 전과 연구 시작 후 4, 8, 12주에 시행되었다. 결 과 : 틱 증상은 연구 12주차까지 호전된 상태로 지속되었으며, YGTSS와 CGI-TS가 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다. 특히 음성 틱 점수의 감소가 운동 틱 점수의 변화보다 전체 YGTSS 점수의 감소에 큰 역할을 한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 전체 10명의 참가자 중 9명이 심각한 부작용 없이 연구를 끝까지 완료하였다. 결 론 : 본 연구는 보조운동영역을 표적으로 한 저빈도 반복적 경두개자기자극술이 치료 저항성 뚜렛장애를 가진 소아 청소년들에게 효과적이고 안전한 치료도구가 될 수 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 반복적 경두개자기자극술의 치료효과를 확정하기 위해서는 보다 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 잘 통제된 연구가 필요할 것이다.
