We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the history of the C-SSRS?

The CSSRS was developed for a National Institute of Mental Health study of adolescent suicide attempters reported in 2007. From the outset, the scale adopted definitions from the Columbia Suicide History Form (CSHF),3 an instrument originally designed as a chart extraction tool.

What are the two versions of the C-SSRS?

The Lifetime/Recent version allows practitioners to gather lifetime history of suicidality as well as any recent suicidal ideation and/or behavior. The Since Last Visit version of the scale assesses suicidality since the individuals last visit.

How many constructs does the C-SSRS have?

While suicidal ideation and behavior had previously been understood as one-dimensional, with passive ideation progressing to active intent and then to suicidal behavior, the C-SSRS attempted to separate ideation and behavior by using 4 constructs (severity of ideation, intensity of ideation, behavior, and lethality),

Does the C-SSRS diagnose mental health conditions?

The C-SSRS is not a diagnostic tool. Rather, it is a screening instrument that informs clinical judgment about suicide risk. While it complements diagnostic assessments, it should not be used in isolation to determine a mental health diagnosis.

What is the C-SSRS specifically?

The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a unique suicide risk assessment tool that supports suicide risk assessment through a series of simple, plain-language questions that anyone can ask.
