MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale
The MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale is a self-report measure of current suicide risk contained within the instrument. T scores range from 45 to 100, with higher scores indicative of greater suicide risk.
Time frame: Baseline
Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS)
The BSS is a 21-item measure of past-week suicide ideation and desire for death. Responses to items are scored on a 3-point Likert scale (range of 0- 2). Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater suicide risk.
Time frame: Baseline
Suicide Cognitions Scale (SCS)
The SCS is an 18-item survey measuring suicide-related thoughts and beliefs, unclouding hopelessness, perceived burdensomeness, entrapment, and unbearability. Respondents rate their agreement with each statement on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores range from 18-90, with higher scores indicating more severe suicide risk.
