Overview :
Nearly 50% of people who die by suicide see their primary care doctor in the month before their death. Asking the right questions to determine suicide risk should be as routine as checking blood pressure — and, with the Columbia Protocol, t’s just as quick. The Columbia Protocol — also known as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) — also helps optimize healthcare resources by directing people to the right level of care. The C-SSRS, is the most evidence-supported tool of its kind, it is a simple series of questions that anyone can use anywhere in the world to prevent suicide.
Learning Objectives:
After participating in this activity, the learner should be better able to:
• Explain how screening with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) can be used to identify at-risk individuals.
• Identify steps to implement a comprehensive screening program that includes targeted and public health approaches to prevention.
• Describe how utilizing a systemic best practice measurement, like the C-SSRS, to identify suicidal ideation and behavior results in improved identification of at-risk individuals and precision which ultimately saves lives.
• Outline the types of suicidal ideation and the four behaviors that are predictive of imminent risk.
• Demonstrate how to administer the C-SSRS full and screener scales including listing long and short term risk and protective factors.
