Other Suicidality Scales

S-SHSQ

The Sheehan – Suicidality / Homicidality Screening Questions (S-SHSQ) is a set of brief screening questions for suicidality and homicidality.  This is not a comprehensive suicidality or homicidality assessment and may be useful in primary care settings.

SMS

The Suicidality Modifiers Scale (SMS) assesses factors that can influence key domains that can impact suicidality.  These factors include impulsive suicidality, hopelessness, loss of enjoyment, and overwhelmed feeling.

SIAS

The Suicidal Impulse Attack Scale (SIAS) assesses the components of a suicidal impulse attack.  These components are the:

1. need or impulse for the patients to kill oneself sooner rather than later

2. need or impulse for the patients to plan to kill oneself sooner rather than later

3. patients’ thoughts about killing oneself or of being better off dead

4. associated physical symptoms

S-CGI-21 (Sheehan – Clinician Global Improvement Scale) & S-PGI-21 (Sheehan – Patient Global Improvement Scale)

The Sheehan – Global Improvement Scales are designed to provide an overall assessment of how much a patient’s symptoms and behaviors have improved or worsened since the start of treatment. They are very sensitive in detecting change over time.  There are 2 Sheehan – Global Improvement Scales, a clinician-rated version (S-CGI-21) and a patient-rated version (S-PGI-21).  These 21-point global improvement scales were designed as more sensitive outcome measures than the old standard 7-point CGI-I Scale (Clinician Global Impressions – Improvement) and the related 7 point PGI-I (Patient Global Impressions – Improvement).
