SIDAS
Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS)
The SIDAS is a brief self-report tool designed to measure the intensity and severity of suicidal ideation over the past 30 days. It allows for quick identification of people at risk and monitoring of suicidal ideation over time. Used mainly in clinical and research settings, it helps identify patients who require more intensive care.
