The Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) was developed in order to assess the severity of suicide attempts. The scale consists of 15 questions which are scaled from 0–2, which take into account both the logistics of the suicide attempt as well as the intent. The scale has high reliability and validity.
Each question addresses a different component of the respondent's suicide ideation severity and behavior. Question 1: wish to be dead; Question 2: non-specific suicidal thoughts; Questions 3–5: more specific suicidal thoughts and intent to act; Question 6: suicidal behavior over the respondent's lifetime and past 3 months
