Suicide Risk Urgency Assessment Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief clinician-rated measure is used to rapidly appraise acute suicide risk and guide immediate triage decisions. The Suicide Risk Urgency Assessment Scale was developed by Juhnke and Patterson and is intended for use in time-sensitive clinical contexts.
The instrument consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items summarize commonly recognized risk indicators to support a structured, initial estimate of urgency; results should be interpreted within a comprehensive clinical assessment and used to inform safety planning and disposition. The Suicide Risk Urgency Assessment Scale is not a standalone diagnostic tool and should be integrated with clinical interview findings, collateral information when available, and local emergency protocols.
