WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Minor Crisis State Questionnaire Test

suicidal risk

This brief measure is designed to support rapid screening of acute distress and potential suicide risk in adolescents. The Minor Crisis State Questionnaire is intended to help identify current crisis-related thoughts and affect that may warrant immediate clinical attention.

It includes 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items focus on the respondent’s current emotional state and crisis-associated cognitions; results are used to guide triage decisions, such as the need for same-day risk assessment, safety planning, or referral for urgent services.

The Minor Crisis State Questionnaire may be used in initial screening contexts (e.g., schools, outpatient clinics, or community agencies) and should be interpreted within the broader clinical picture rather than as a standalone diagnostic indicator. It is attributed to R. S. Lazarus.
