Assessing Suicidal and NonSuicidal Self-Injury via In-Depth Interview or Self-Report: Balancing Assessment Effort and Results.

OBJECTIVE: Both suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) represent major public health concerns, and effective assessment, management, and treatment requires assessment tools that can simultaneously be quick and accurate. This study compared the validity of a self-report measure of suicide attempts and NSSI acts with a gold standard in depth interview.

METHOD: Ninety women answered questions about their suicidal behavior history using both a self-report assessment and in-depth interview.

RESULTS: The plurality of patients over estimated their suicidal acts using the self-report measure when compared to the gold standard interview.

CONCLUSION: Self-report assessments may not be an accurate method of retrieving information about suicide.
