- QUOTE: The Columbia Protocol, also known as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), supports suicide risk assessment through a series of simple, plain-language questions that anyone can ask. The answers help users identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauge the level of support that the person needs. Users of the tool ask people:
- Whether and when they have thought about suicide (ideation)
- What actions they have taken — and when — to prepare for suicide
- Whether and when they attempted suicide or began a suicide attempt that was either interrupted by another person or stopped of their own volition

... There are several methods for assessing SIB. One option involves the use of broad assessments of mood and behavior that include SIB questions or subscales (e.g., Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1961), Hamilton Rating Scale) (Hamilton, 1967). Alternatively, SIB-specific assessments have been developed for use in clinical trials and practice. The most widely used SIB-specific measure is the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).4 The original C-SSRS is a paper and pencil measure that is completed by a clinician through a semi-structured interview with a patient. An electronic version of the measure — the eC-SSRS — was developed as an interactive voice response (IVR) system alternative that is completed directly by the patient through a structured, standardized, automated interview. ...
