NIMH · suicide-screening questions
Brief suicide-risk screening, accompanied by pathways for subsequent assessment in health services.
Conditions of use
A toolkit for medical patients aged eight and over. Select youth or adult materials and the care setting; establish a response pathway and assessment by a trained professional before screening.
Limits and context
A positive result requires additional safety assessment. It is neither a diagnosis nor an individual prediction of suicide; the source does not recommend this screener below eight years of age.
Catalogued source record. Implementation on ELUCENIA and independent scientific review pending.
Relationship with cancer research
General context — relationship to be defined
