Scoring & interpretation
Each item is scored from 0 (I never had this thought) to 6 (almost every day). The scores are summed to obtain a total score; the higher it is, the greater the risk. A clinical cutoff of 31 or more indicates a significant risk of suicidal ideation requiring immediate attention.
