From an initial pool of 31 items, internal consistency, Rasch, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses produced a 14-item scale that is unidimensional, internally consistent, and correlated with measures of suicide-relevant constructs. © 2019 Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC).
