Description

The Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ), a standardized suicide risk screening instrument developed by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (Horowitz et al., 2012). The form showcases how clinicians in medical settings, such as a pediatric emergency department, can use the ASQ to screen for suicide risk and conduct a brief suicide safety assessment to determine risk level and appropriate interventions. It serves as an educational resource for healthcare professionals, trainees, or researchers learning about suicide prevention protocols in clinical practice (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d.).
