The 'Lifetime/Recent version allows practitioners to gather lifetime history of suicidality as well as any recent suicidal ideation and/or behavior.' The 'Since Last Visit version of the scale assesses suicidality since the patientвЂ™s last visit.' The 'Screener version of the C-SSRS is a truncated form of the Full Version' designed for 'first responders, in ER settings and crisis call centers, for non-mental health users like teachers or clergy or in situations where frequent monitoring is required.' The 'Risk Assessment Page provides a checklist for protective and risk factors for suicidality.' 'If person pulls trigger while gun is in mouth but gun is broken so no injury results, this is considered an attempt'.They are also asked about Aborted Attempt, Interrupted Attempt and Preparatory Behavior.' They are asked about 'Actual Attempt', which is a 'potentially self-injurious act completed with at least some wish to die, as a result of act. They are asked about deterrent factors, and for the reasons for thinking of suicide. any intent to act on such thoughts.' They are asked how frequently they have these thoughts, how long the thoughts last and whether the thoughts can be controlled. Patients are asked about 'general non-specific thoughts of wanting to end oneвЂ™s life/complete suicide' and if they have had '.thoughts of suicide and have thought of at least one method during the assessment period.' They are asked if they have 'active suicidal thoughts of killing oneself. An individual exhibiting even a single behavior identified by the scale was 8 to 10 times more likely to complete suicide. The scale identifies specific behaviors which may be indicative of an individual's intent to complete suicide. It rates an individual's degree of suicidal ideation on a scale, ranging from 'wish to be dead' to 'active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent and behaviors.' Questions are phrased for use in an interview format, but the C-SSRS may be completed as a self-report measure if necessary. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, or C-SSRS, is a suicidal ideation and behavior rating scale created by researchers at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh and New York University to evaluate suicide risk.
