Background: Although suicidal behaviors occur at a high rate in adolescence, relatively few interview‐based measures are available to assess suicidal ideation among youth. Existing interview measures are limited by a paucity of empirical study, a failure to conform to standard suicide nomenclature, or a lengthy administration time. This study presents data on the psychometric properties and factor structure of the brief, layperson‐administered Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation (MSSI) among…

TLDR
The model of indirect effects provided the best fit to the data; relatedness, autonomy, and competence were significantly associated with higher thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, which, in turn, were significantlyassociated with higher suicidal ideation.
Interpersonal Trust and Suicide Ideation Among Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatients: An Indirect Effect via Perceived Burdensomeness
TLDR
Interpersonal trust may be a distal risk marker for suicide ideation and that interventions to increase interpersonal trust may help prevent the development of thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicide Ideation.
The Influence of Psychosocial Factors on Suicide Ideation across the Ageing Population
Suicide refers to an act whereby the person ends their own life willingly, mainly to escape problematic family or social environments. Preceding this is suicide ideation, which is having plans and…
Relations between hopelessness, depressive symptoms and suicidality: mediation by reasons for living.
TLDR
The importance of assessing for the presence of these suicide risk and protective factors is demonstrated, as well as the improved identification and treatment of young adults at risk for suicide.
Evaluating the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire: Comparison of the Reliability, Factor Structure, and Predictive Validity across Five Versions.
TLDR
Both perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness consistently predicted concurrent suicidal ideation on the 10-item INQ only, and future research should consider using the 15-item or 10- item versions.

The Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation: factors of suicidality and their relation to clinical and diagnostic variables.
TLDR
The Suicidal Desire and Ideation factor was more highly related to depressotypic indicators than was the other factor, suggesting that level of depression, although predictive of ideation, may not be as strong a correlate of preparation.
The Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R):Validation with Clinical and Nonclinical Samples
TLDR
Examination of the reliability and validity of a brief self-report measure of past suicidal behavior, the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R), found that the most useful cutoff scores on the SBQ- R were 7 for nonsuicidal samples, and 8 for clinical samples.
Multimethod assessment of suicidality in adolescent psychiatric inpatients: preliminary results.
TLDR
Results of this preliminary study supported the use of multiple measurement approaches when examining adolescent suicidality, particularly those that rely on clinician judgment and adolescents' own reports.
Psychometric properties and clinical utility of the Scale for Suicidal Ideation (SSI) in adolescents
TLDR
SSI appears to be a reliable and a valid measure of suicidal ideation for depressed adolescents and an appropriate cutoff threshold for the SSI in a depressed adolescent outpatient population and controls.

TLDR
Adolescents presenting with emotional disturbance should be carefully screened for depression given the strong relationship between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, and improved prediction of suicidal Ideation may be obtained through the utilization of continuous measures of psychiatric symptoms in suicide research.
Assessment of suicidal intention: the Scale for Suicide Ideation.
TLDR
The SSI scale was found to have high internal consistency and moderately high correlations with clinical ratings of suicidal risk and self-administered measures of self-harm, and it was sensitive to changes in levels of depression and hopelessness over time.

The Modified Scale for Suicide Ideation (MSSI; I. W. Miller, W. H. Norman, S. B. Bishop, & M. G. Dow, 1986) is a self-report measure used to assess suicidality. The present study was designed to…

Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview: development, reliability, and validity in an adolescent sample.
TLDR
The authors concluded that the SITBI uniformly and comprehensively assesses a wide range of self-injury-related constructs and provides a new instrument that can be administered with relative ease in both research and clinical settings.
Self-reported suicidal ideation in adolescent psychiatric inpatients.
TLDR
The results are discussed as supporting the use of the BSI with adolescent inpatients and indicating that hopelessness is related to suicidal ideation when depression is controlled for.
