Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Suicide Ideation

    Suicide ideation will be measured using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and the Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI). Both measures assess for presence, intensity, frequency, and specificity of suicide related thoughts (ideations).

    discharge, 1 month, and 6 months post-discharge

  • Acceptability and Initiation of Mental Health Care and Substance Use Treatment

    Attitudes toward help-seeking \[acceptability and initiation of services\] will be assessed by the following measures: Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale: modified shortened version (ATSPPH); Cornell Services Index (CSI); Perceived Barriers to Care (PBTC); Brief SAFE MIL Intervention Survey.

    discharge, 1 month, and 6-months post-discharge

  • Suicide-related Coping

    Coping strategies will be measured using a checklist of tactics and coping strategies used by individuals to cope with suicidal thoughts, feelings, and urges.

    discharge, 1 month, and 6 months post-discharge
