TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Suicidal behavior: measurement and mechanisms (editorial) JO - Journal of clinical psychiatry A1 - Oquendo, Maria A. SP - 1675 EP - 1675 VL - 76 IS - 12 N2 - This issue of Focus on Suicide brings us new data about risk assessment, with 2 articles examining the utility of rating scales for assessment of suicidal behavior. Youngstrom et al conduct a careful comparison of 3 suicide rating scales: the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), the Suicide Tracking Scale (STS), and the Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS). While the scales did comparably in 2 broad categories, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, the study suggests that some subtypes of suicidal behavior/ideation are not captured as well by the S-STS.
