Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the new Suicide Risk Rapid Survey diagnostic scale, which includes six items on suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior and is aimed at assessing suicide risk in adolescents with suicidal behavior.
Material And Methods:
The psychometric verification of the scale was carried out on a sample of adolescents 10-17 years old (n=114, mean age 14.29±1.66) who were treated in a psychiatric hospital. The following methods were used to check the convergent validity of the scale: Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, Beck Hopelessness Scale, and Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation.
Results:
The scale showed satisfactory internal validity (0.7), significant associations with the scales of depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation (p<0.001), as well as very high sensitivity (ability to identify patients with suicidal attempts correctly).
Conclusion:
The satisfactory psychometric characteristics of the Suicide Risk Rapid Survey scale support its use in clinical practice as a tool for rapid assessment of suicide risk in adolescents.
