Suicide Risk Screening

The Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) is a short screening tool designed to detect suicide risk quickly and accurately.

Instructions

Please answer each question honestly. If any response suggests suicide risk, we will ask a few follow-up questions to better understand how you're feeling right now.

1. In the past few weeks, have you wished you were dead?

2. In the past few weeks, have you felt that you or your family would be better off if you were dead?

3. In the past week, have you been having thoughts about killing yourself?

4. Have you ever tried to kill yourself?

Thank you for your honesty so far. We have one more important question to better understand how you're feeling right now.

5. Are you having thoughts of killing yourself right now?
