“…The MBHS was originally developed based on the conceptual framework of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011 and is now aligned with the current version of the test, the MMPI-3 (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2020). The MMPI-3 is a broadband measure of personality and psychopathology and is the updated version of the most widely used comprehensive psychological assessment instrument (see Villanueva van den Hurk et al, 2023). The MMPI-3 assesses a comprehensive, theory-based model of psychopathology, including suicidal ideation; however, it was not designed for primary care settings due to the relatively large number of items (335 items), the length of time required to complete it (approximately 30 min) and the need for a qualified psychologist to interpret results.…”

IntroductionIn the United States, primary medical care settings are the first accessed resource for both medical and behavioral health care. Thus, there is a clear need for accurate and efficient behavioral health screening in this setting, including routine surveillance screening for suicide risk. The Multidimensional Behavioral Health Screen (MBHS), a broadband but very brief screening tool developed specifically for primary care, has been updated to include an algorithm that classifies suicide risk based on the interpersonal‐psychological theory of suicide, and associated interview and decision framework. This study aims to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the new MBHS 2.0 suicide risk algorithm, with actual risk determined by clinical suicide risk interview.MethodData were collected as part of a larger study that, overall, included 551 college student participants. Of these, 309 completed the MBHS 2.0 and the clinical suicide risk interview, the two measures reported here. The final participant count was 299 following the removal of incomplete or invalid cases. Predicted suicide risk as determined by the MBHS 2.0 (Low, Mild, At least Moderate) was compared to actual risk as determined by clinical interview (Low, Moderate, Severe, Extreme).ResultsUtilizing chi‐square analyses, data show a significant association between the predicted suicide risk category based on the MBHS 2.0 algorithm and the actual risk category based on the semi‐structured clinical interview. Furthermore, classification analyses suggest that primary care providers will be able to confidently assess the suicide risk level for the majority of their patients when using the MBHS.ConclusionFindings suggest that the MBHS 2.0 can be an accurate and efficient tool for use by primary care providers in classifying suicide risk. Future research will be useful to evaluate the utility of the suicide risk algorithm among primary care populations.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) family of assessment instruments now includes six versions in its history, which dates back formally to 1943. Current versions are the MMPI-3 (2020) for adults and the MMPI-A-RF (2016) for adolescents. These are multiscale instruments that are standardized, normed self-report questionnaires with a true–false response format. Earlier versions of the MMPI were developed to assess traditional syndromes or “disorders”; current versions have been restructured to align with emerging hierarchical–dimensional models of psychological dysfunction, such as the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology. The MMPI instruments are widely used in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings as well as many specialized settings, including medical and forensic applications (e.g., child custody evaluations, presurgical evaluations, and police candidate evaluations). This chapter offers a brief description of MMPI history and the previous versions of the test, with more detailed description of the two current versions.
