Brief Summary:
The purpose of this project is to pilot a new scale The Desperation Scale in a sample of young adolescents aged 10-16 seen in the pediatric emergency room who require a psychiatric consultation The proposed study is designed to assess the psychometric properties of this new scale and to provide information about the cognitive state of young suicidal individuals It is hypothesized that this scale will be able to discriminate between those who are suicidal and those who are not Data obtained in this pilot study will provide information about the usefulness of the construct of desperation and will guide future projects aimed at the assessment and treatment of suicidal individuals The use of cognitive factors to predict suicidal behavior is appealing because they allow the clinician to tap into an individuals perception of hisher life circumstances However we believe the popular conceptualization of suicide as a result of hopeless thinking ignores an important aspect of suicidal behavior-the motivation to escape We propose that a model of suicidal behavior that includes escape motivation which we call the desperation model will be better able to predict suicide than existing measures We conceptualize desperation as consisting of three core elements a sense of entrapment feelings of anxietyagitation and a sense of time urgency The current pilot study will test a 35-item scale that assesses these three elements of desperation A pilot study of the Desperation Scale is currently being conducted at the Cornell University Medical Center PI PM Marzuk with depressed adult inpatients Our study is original in its use of the scale with an adolescent population and its focus on patients in the emergency room when they are presumably in a purer suicidal state It is hypothesized that those who are admitted to the emergency room for recent suicidal behavior will endorse feelings of entrapment anxiety and time urgency
