一项对1958名门诊病人的前瞻性研究发现，用贝克绝望量表（Beck despair Scale）测量的绝望与最终的自杀显著相关。量表的截止分为9分或以上，17名患者中有16名（94.2%）最终自杀，从而重复了先前对住院患者的研究。根据这个临界值确定的高危人群自杀的可能性是其他门诊病人的11倍。因此，贝克绝望量表可以作为自杀可能性的敏感指标。
A prospective study of 1,958 outpatients found that hopelessness, as measured by the Beck Hopelessness Scale, was significantly related to eventual suicide. A scale cutoff score of 9 or above identified 16 (94.2%) of the 17 patients who eventually committed suicide, thus replicating a previous study with hospitalized patients. The high-risk group identified by this cutoff score was 11 times more likely to commit suicide than the rest of the outpatients. The Beck Hopelessness Scale thus may be used as a sensitive indicator of suicide potential.
