Validity of the Suicide Assessment Checklist in an Emergency Crisis Center.
Rogers, James R.; Lewis, Mary Miller; Subich, Linda Mezydlo
Journal of Counseling & Development, v80 n4 p493-502 Fall 2002
Investigates validity of the Suicide Assessment Checklist (SAC) in a sample of 1,969 admissions to a psychiatric emergency crisis center. Supporting construct related validity, total score differences were found in the expected directions as a function of referral reason. Convergent validity was based on observed correlations between selected SAC items and conceptually similar items on the Beck Depression Inventory. (Contains 24 references and 2 appendixes.) (GCP)
