Find Out Whether Their Self-destructive Thoughts and Behaviors Mean They are At Risk
When used together, the FAST and FASI measure self-destructive behavior patterns characteristic of suicidal individuals, including hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation.
Features and benefits
- The FAST is an 84-item self-report instrument designed to measure a broad range of self-destructive behavior patterns characteristic of suicidal individuals, including hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation.
- The FASI is a subset/brief version of the FAST; it consists of the 27 FAST items that best predict suicide risk.
- The client is asked to endorse how frequently he or she is experiencing self-critical/self-depreciating thoughts in the form of an internal dialogue or voice (i.e., negative thoughts directed toward oneself).
- When items are presented in this form, they often bring to light elements of a self-destructive process that have been partially or completely subconscious.
- For both the FAST and FASI, the scale raw scores are summed and normative scores are provided in the form of T scores and percentiles. The FAST contains five composite scores: Self-Defeating, Addictions, Self-Annihilating, Suicide Intent, and Total Score.
