abstract="The present study evaluates how liability influences mental health clinicians' assessment of suicide risk. In this online vignette-based experiment, clinicians (N = 268) were either primed with a legal standard prior to a case vignette or presented the case vignette alone. Clinicians then rated the patient's likelihood of suicide and need for hospitalization. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that trainees provided significantly lower ratings of suicide risk following presentation of the legal standard, but this was not associated with hospitalization endorsement. <br><br>RESULTS have training and legal implications for improving the accuracy of suicide risk assessment in both trainees and licensed professionals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
