TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Psychometric validation of the French version of the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS-FR) JO - Death studies A1 - Gauvin, Geoffrey A1 - Bardon, Cecile A1 - Coté, Louis-Philippe SP - 2404 EP - 2412 VL - 46 IS - 10 N2 - The purpose of this study was to validate in French the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS) using an online community survey that was completed by 2304 French-speaking Quebec participants (adolescents and adults). The SIDAS-FR demonstrated high internal consistency (α =.83), a unifactorial structure, and strong convergent validity with relevant constructs. Cutoff scores of ≥13 for moderate severity and ≥20 for high severity of suicidal ideations were optimal. The excellent psychometric properties of the French-Canadian version of the SIDAS support its use as an effective tool for online screening of suicidal ideations, for both adolescents and adults.
