The current research evaluates the effectiveness and relative merits of 3 screening measures (the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the Psychache Scale) in evaluating preexisting suicide risk factors for a sample of 7,522 undergraduate students. All measures demonstrated significant diagnostic accuracy for indicating suicide ideation, previous single and multiple suicide attempts, and a recent suicide attempt, which are all serious risk factors for subsequent death by suicide in university students. However, the Psychache Scale displayed superior performance in accurately identifying suicide risk compared with both the Beck Depression Inventory-II and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. Identifying students most at risk for suicide requires diagnostically efficient measures, thus preliminary cut-scores for identifying at-risk students are provided.
当前的研究评估了三种筛查措施（贝克抑郁量表第二版、贝克绝望量表和痛苦量表）在评估7522名本科生样本中预先存在的自杀风险因素方面的有效性和相对优点。所有措施在表明自杀意念、既往单次和多次自杀未遂以及近期自杀未遂方面都显示出显著的诊断准确性，而这些都是大学生随后自杀死亡的严重风险因素。然而，与贝克抑郁量表第二版和贝克绝望量表相比，痛苦量表在准确识别自杀风险方面表现更优。识别自杀风险最高的学生需要诊断效率高的措施，因此提供了识别高危学生的初步临界分数。
