    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychometrics
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Suicide risk assessment is crucial in clinical practice.
    • Numerous rating scales exist for estimating suicide risk.
    • Standardization and validation of these scales are essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing rating scales for suicide risk estimation.
    • To analyze methods of scale development and validation.
    • To discuss challenges and improvements in predicting suicidal behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of 15 suicide risk rating scales.
    • Analysis of scale development methodologies.
    • Evaluation of validation strategies and predictive accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • Identified 15 distinct rating scales for suicide risk.
    • Highlighted commonalities and differences in scale development and validation.
    • Discussed limitations in current predictive accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to enhance the predictive validity of suicide risk scales.
    • Improved methods for scale development and validation are required.
    • Accurate prediction of suicidal behavior remains a significant clinical challenge.
