Pdf Summary
The given document is discussing the CSSRS (Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale) baseline assessment. The document mentions different levels of suicidal ideation, categorizing it based on the intention with which it is experienced. It states that suicidal ideation can be motivated by a desire for attention, revenge, or a reaction from others, or it can be motivated by a desire to end or stop the pain one is feeling. The different levels range from completely motivated by attention-seeking or revenge (Level 1) to completely motivated by the desire to end or stop the pain (Level 5). <br /><br />The document also discusses preparatory acts or behaviors that individuals may engage in as a precursor to a suicide attempt. These acts can include steps taken towards making an attempt, such as collecting pills or acquiring a gun, or actions taken to prepare for one's own death, such as giving away possessions or writing a suicide note. The document asks if the individual has taken any steps towards making a suicide attempt or preparing to kill themselves in the past month. <br /><br />Additionally, the document mentions that suicidal behavior was present during the assessment period and asks about the potential lethality of the actual attempt if there was no medical damage. It provides a scale for rating the likelihood of lethality, ranging from behavior not likely to result in injury (0) to behavior likely to result in death despite available medical care (2).
