Description
Md Omar Faruk, Md Abdul Awal, and Kamal Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury validate a Bangla language scale for suicidal thinking in a high risk district of Bangladesh, in work from twenty twenty-six. Jhenaidah district posts suicide rates above national and global averages. No tested local measure of suicidal ideation existed there.
Three hundred residents from six sub districts took the new scale plus well being and symptom measures. Analysis supported a single factor behind the items, explaining over half the score variation. Repeat scores stayed highly stable, and internal consistency and validity checks passed. The authors judge the scale fit for use in the district. They expect it to anchor future suicide research there.
