Abstract

Data from 64 Adol. Inpatients Admitted for Serious Suicidal Ideation, 50 Adol. Inpatients Admitted Following A Suicide Attempt and 56 Randomly Selected High Sch. Contr. Participants Were Used to Evaluate the Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value and Negative Predictive Value of the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire and the Reynolds Adol. Depression Scale-2nd Edition. the Purpose of the Stud. Was to Provide Info. Necessary for Selecting Assess. Tools to Use in Large-scale Screenings of High Sch. Students for Suicide Risk. the Hypothesis That A Combination of Mean Scores on the Two Measures and Critical Item Scores Would Provide the Best Clin. Utility Was Partially Supported. the SIQ Was Found to Be Very Useful in Discriminating between the Stud. Groups, whereas the RADS-2 Did Not Perform As Expected. the Fewest False Negatives Would Result from Relying on RADS-2 Scale Scores 63 and SIQ Scale Scores S age;14. However, the Parsimonious and Hence Most Cost-effective Approach Would Be to Rely on SIQ Scale Scores S 14 in Combination with SIQ Critical Items 2, 3 and 4 for Screening Purposes.
