Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3)
The ASI-3 is an 18-item self-report measure of anxiety sensitivity (AS). This scale was developed to provide a more stable measure of the three most widely recognized AS subfactors (cognitive, social and physical concerns) than the original ASI provides. Each subfactor is represented by six items. The measure has shown good psychometric properties.
Time frame: Month 4 follow-up
Beck Suicide Scale (BSS)
The BSS is a 21-item widely used self-report measure assessing a broad spectrum of behaviors and attitudes related to suicide risk, including suicidal ideation and past suicide attempts. It has demonstrated strong reliability and validity.
Time frame: Month 4 follow-up
