Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a self-report suicide screening questionnaire (SSQ-SR) and explore the applicability of each item to the general adult population. First, 77 items were developed through expert consultations, reviews of existing suicide risk assessment tools and literature, and analysis of suicide completers’ characteristics. After further review and rating by suicide experts, the number of items was reduced to 44 and then 29. In order to confirm the psychometric properties of the items, an online survey was conducted on 1,200 general adults. As a result of item-total correlation analysis, one item was eliminated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses verified two factors. SSQ-SR demonstrated good reliability and validity. This study will serve as the foundational data for a forthcoming offline survey-based validation study.
