Suicide is a major public health challenge and prevention depends on appropriate identification and screening. The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) identifies at-risk individuals who may have otherwise been missed and refers them to appropriate levels of care. Due to its demonstrated ability to predict suicide attempts in suicidal and non-suicidal individuals (which is a national priority for prevention), the C-SSRS streamlines assessment of risk, allowing for the specification of criteria that trigger the need for further intervention, decreasing unnecessary treatment referrals.
