About the S-HTS (H + S):
The S-HTS Combined (Homicide + Suicide) (H + S) version* has the same core questions and phenomena covered as the standard S-HTS. However, the question for each core phenomenon asks the patient about a combined act of homicidality and suicidality (e.g., murder-suicide or suicide terrorism). It has 16 core questions and 9 additional questions contingent on the responses to the core 16. The S-HTS Combined (H + S) Version is laid out for ease of navigation on 3 pages. Page 1 contains 16 core phenomena and can be used as a stand-alone page in clinical settings. It is designed for use in clinical research studies and in clinical settings.
About the S-HTS:
The Sheehan – Homicidality Tracking Scale (S-HTS) is a short scale designed to assess and monitor over time the core phenomena of homicidality. The same version can be used either as a clinician-rated scale or as a patient-rated scale, or both together at the same visit. The standard version was designed for use in clinical research studies as a safety assessment measure, to detect treatment emergent homicidality, and as a treatment outcome measure that is very sensitive to change. The S-HTS is available in 3 age-related, linguistically validated pediatric versions (for 6 to 8 year olds, for 9 to 12 year olds, and for 13 to 17 year olds). The more expanded S-HTS Clinically Meaningful Change Measure version (S-HTS CMCM) addresses the needs of those who want to do a more comprehensive homicidality assessment clinically or who want a more comprehensive primary outcome measure when investigating the anti-homicidality treatment effects of medications. The S-HTS CMCM is available in both adult and adolescent versions. The S-HTS Combined (Homicide + Suicide) (H + S) version is designed to elicit information about combined acts of homicidality and suicidality (e.g., murder-suicide or suicide terrorism) and is available for use with adults.
