Description
Carolin Haas and colleagues presented in 2026 a short questionnaire for judging suicide risk in primary care. The ten-item tool, called SuPr-10, was built for patients who already show depressive symptoms. Existing screening often misses protective factors, such as reasons for living and sources of support. The team tested the questionnaire in several groups of German-speaking patients.
Validation work covered more than five hundred participants whose depression scores met a set threshold. Statistical checks found two parts, one covering protection and one covering risk. Scores lined up well with established measures of suicidality and depression. The tool separated people with a past attempt history at a modest level. The authors stress that broader testing is needed before wider use.
