abstract="To validate the Computerized Adaptive Test Suicide Scale (CAT-SS), Veterans completed measures at baseline (n = 305), and 6- (n = 249), and 12-months (n = 185), including the CAT-SS (median items 11, duration of administration 107 seconds) and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Logistic regression was used to relate CAT-SS scores (baseline) to C-SSRS assessed outcomes (active ideation with plan and intent; attempt; interrupted, aborted or self-interrupted attempt, or preparatory acts or behaviors; all outcomes combined). A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between the lagged CAT-SS scores and outcomes (6- and 12-months). The baseline CAT-SS demonstrated predictive accuracy for all outcomes at 6-months, and similar results were found for baseline and all outcomes at and through 12-months. Longitudinal analysis revealed for every 10-point change in the CAT-SS there was a 50-77% increase in the likelihood of suicide-related outcomes. The CAT-SS demonstrated added value when compared to current suicide risk prediction practices.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
