“…The SCS—including its factorial structure, convergent and discriminant validity, criterion validity, and predictive/incremental validity—have been tested and replicated across several studies. Specifically, evidence from existing samples provides evidence for the unidimensionality of SCS as a syndrome (Barzilay et al, 2020; Bloch‐Elkouby et al, 2020; Galynker et al, 2017; Otte et al, 2020), its convergent and discriminant validity (Barzilay et al, 2020; Calati et al, 2020; Galynker et al, 2017; Otte et al, 2020), its associations with concurrent and lifetime suicidality (Barzilay et al, 2020; Calati et al, 2020; Cohen et al, 2018, 2019; Yaseen et al, 2019), and its relations with future short‐term (i.e., 4–8 weeks) suicidal behavior above and beyond other relevant risk factors (Barzilay et al, 2020; Galynker et al, 2017; Pia et al, 2020; Yaseen et al, 2019; Ying et al, 2020). Notably, the severity of SCS was associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts among high‐risk inpatients within 2 months of hospital discharge (Galynker et al, 2017), and the occurrence of suicidal behavior one‐month following hospital discharge was seven times greater in patients with higher SCS scores than in those with lower SCS scores (Yaseen et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: Suicidal ideation (SI) has numerous limitations in predicting suicidal behavior. The Suicide Crisis Syndrome (SCS) is proposed as an alternative method of detecting risk. This study compares the relative utility of SI and SCS in statistically predicting SI and behaviors at one-month follow-up. Methods: 382 psychiatric patients (98 inpatients, 284 outpatients) completed baseline measures and provided information about suicide-related outcomes one month later. Participants were grouped based on responses to measures assessing SCS and SI.Results: Rates of follow-up suicidal behavior were significantly higher among those reporting both SCS and SI (22.2%) than those reporting SI alone (6.0%) or neither SCS nor SI (0.9%). SCS alone (8.3%) had descriptively, but not statistically, higher rates of suicidal behavior than those with neither SCS nor SI, and did not differ from SI alone and the combination of SCS and SI. Those reporting SI-with and without SCS-had higher levels of follow-up suicidal thoughts than those without SI. Conclusion:The SCS was equivalent to SI, and incrementally informative alongside SI, in detecting individuals at risk of future suicidal behavior, whereas SI was more strongly related to future SI than SCS. The combination of SCS and SI may be clinically useful in detecting individuals who are at risk for suicide.

“…Criterion A involves a sense of frantic hopelessness/entrapment and Criterion B has 4 components: affective disturbance, loss of cognitive control, hyperarousal, and social withdrawal. The SCS and its earlier iterations have shown construct validity via confirmatory factor analysis 21 ; criterion validity with SI, suicidal attempts (SA), and suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) [21][22][23][24][25] ; predictive validity to near-term SI, SA, and STB [21][22][23] ; and incremental predictive validity to SA after accounting for SI 26 and SI plus depressive symptoms. 25 Measures of the SCS have also been validated in multiple countries and in multiple languages.…”

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a globally devastating psychosocial impact. A detailed understanding of the mental health implications of this worldwide crisis is critical for successful mitigation of and preparation for future pandemics. Using a large international sample, we investigated in the present study the relationship between multiple COVID-19 parameters (both disease characteristics and government responses) and the incidence of the suicide crisis syndrome (SCS), an acute negative affect state associated with near-term suicidal behavior. Methods: Data were collected from 5528 adults across 10 different countries in an anonymous web-based survey between June 2020 and January 2021. Results: Individuals scoring above the SCS cut-off lived in countries with higher peak daily cases and deaths during the first wave of the pandemic. Additionally, the longer participants had been exposed to markers of pandemic severity (eg, lockdowns), the more likely they were to screen positive for the SCS. Findings reflected both country-to-country comparisons and individual variation within the pooled sample. Conclusion: Both the pandemic itself and the government interventions utilized to contain the spread appear to be associated with suicide risk. Public policy should include efforts to mitigate the mental health impact of current and future global disasters.

“…A large body of research substantiates the validity, reliability, and clinical utility of the SCS. The SCS has demonstrated concurrent validity regarding both suicidal ideation (Barzilay et al, 2020; Otte et al, 2020; Yaseen et al, 2019) and suicide attempts (Bloch-Elkouby et al, 2021; Calati et al, 2020). Additionally, the SCS is predictive of 1-month postdischarge suicidal thoughts and behaviors (Bloch-Elkouby et al, 2021; Cohen et al, 2022) and suicide attempts (Barzilay et al, 2020; Yaseen et al, 2019).…”

“…Further, the SCS demonstrated incremental predictive validity over suicidal ideation regarding suicidal attempts (Rogers et al, 2022). The SCS has been employed in numerous research and clinical settings, both in the United States and internationally (c.f., Høyen et al, 2022; Menon et al, 2022; Otte et al, 2020; Wu et al, 2022).…”
