Testing the psychometric properties of the risk-rescue rating scale: a lethality measure for suicide attempts by Tormod Stangeland, Ketil Hanssen-Bauer, Johan Siqveland

“…Correlation was .80 between the RRRS and SIS items that were similar to the RRRS and .53 for SIS items measuring other topics, indicating good concurrent and discriminant validity. Adopting a common standard for communicating about suicide attempts can improve clinical practice, and the RRRS may prove to be a reliable and practical candidate for this task.…”
