Abstract

Suicidal ideation is common, accounting for about 1% of emergency department visits, or about 1.4 million visits a year in the United States. Although there are numerous validated screening tools, such as the PHQ9, the ED-Safe Patient Safety Screener, and the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R), none have been tested against physician gestalt, and none are widely used in clinical practice.
