SPS: Suicide Probability Scale
The Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) is a 36-item self-report instrument developed by John Cull and William Gill (1990) to assess suicide risk, hopelessness, suicide ideation, negative self-evaluation, and hostility in adolescents and adults. It provides a multidimensional profile of suicide-related cognitions and emotions and is used in clinical, psychiatric, school, and forensic settings to screen for suicide risk and guide treatment planning.
