abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the concurrent validity of a brief suicide risk screener for adults in the emergency department (ED). <br><br>METHODS: Two versions of the verbally-administered Patient Safety Screener (2-item, 3-item) were compared to a reference standard, the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI). Analyses included measures of agreement (Kappa). <br><br>RESULTS: Agreement between the Patient Safety Screener-2 and -3 and the BSSI (n = 951) was almost perfect for overall positive screening (K = 0.94 - 0.95) and past suicide attempts (K = 0.97 - 0.98). Agreement on ideation ranged from fair (K = 0.34) for the 2 item version to good (K = 0.61) for the 3 item version. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The Patient Safety Screener's concurrent validity with the BSSI ranged from fair to almost perfect and warrants additional study.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
