SBQ-R is a brief multi-domain suicide-risk screening tool covering lifetime ideation/attempt history, recent ideation frequency, communication of intent, and future likelihood.
Formula: SBQ-R total = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 (range 3-21).
Higher SBQ-R scores indicate greater suicide-risk signal and support immediate structured clinical risk evaluation.
Use in supervised clinical screening contexts where concise suicide-risk triage support is needed.
SBQ-R is self-reported and should never replace direct safety interviewing, collateral information, or emergency escalation when acute risk is suspected.
For related assessments, see C-SSRS Screener, PHQ-9 and GAD-7.
