The SIQ assesses the frequency of suicidal ideation and serves as a valuable component in a comprehensive assessment of adolescent mental health.

Features and benefits

  • The SIQ consists of 30 items and is appropriate for students in Grades 10-12.
  • The SIQ-JR consists of 15 items and is designed for students in Grades 7-9.
  • Reliability coefficients are .97 for the SIQ and .93 to .94 for the SIQ-JR.

For many adolescents, the SIQ and the SIQ-JR provide a mechanism for informing adults/professionals of their level of distress and suicidal intent, serving as a cry for help that doesn’t involve self-injurious behavior. Adolescents who are thinking about suicide may respond to these measures with the expectation that, in telling others of their suicidal thoughts, people will take notice of their distress and act to assist them. It is therefore vital that professionals act quickly once critical SIQ or SIQ-JR scores are obtained.
