Discuss statements about screening for suicidal thoughts


Problem: Which of the following statements about screening for suicidal thoughts in jails is NOT true?

1. Screening for suicidal thoughts can be difficult because much of the evaluation is based on inmate self-report.

2. Screening for suicidal thoughts can be difficult because, in jail, there isn't a base line of behavior that is communicated to jail mental health staff when an individual arrives. This makes noticing changes in mood more difficult.

3. Over 3/4 of jails that experiences completed suicides had formal screening measures in place.

4. Once an inmate is screened for suicidal thoughts (which should occur during the booking process), there is not a great need to continue to screen for changes since suicidal thoughts are relatively stable
