Background. Clinical judgments about the likelihood of suicide attempt Would be aided by an index of risk Factors that could be quickly assessed in diverse settings. We Sought to develop such a risk index for 12-month suicide attempts among suicide ideators.Method. The National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), a household survey of adults aged 18 +, assessed the 12-month occurrence Of Suicide ideation, plans and attempts in a subsample of 5692 respondents. Retrospectively assessed correlates include history of prior suicidality, socio-demographics, parental psychopathology and 12-month DSM-IV disorders.Results. Twelve-month prevalence estimates of suicide ideation, plans and attempts are 2(.)6, 0(.)7 and 0(.)4 % respectively. Although ideators with a plan are more likely to make an attempt (31(.)9%,,) than those without a plan (9(.)6%), 43% of attempts were described as unplanned. History or prior attempts is the strongest correlate of 12-month attempts. Other significant correlates include shorter duration of ideation, presence of a suicide plan, and several socio-demographic and parental psychopathology variables. Twelve-month disorders are not powerful correlates. A four-category summary index of correlates is strongly related to attempts among ideators [area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC)=0(.)88]. The distribution (conditional probability of attempt) of the risk index is: 19(.)0% very low (0(.)0%), 51(.)1% low (3(.)5 %), 16(.)2 % intermediate (21(.)3 %), and 13(.)7% high (78(.)1 %). Two-thirds (67(.)1 %) of attempts were made by ideators in the high-risk category.Conclusions. A short, preliminary risk index based on retrospectively reported responses to fully structured questions is strongly correlated with 12-month suicide attempts among ideators, with a high concentration or attempts among high-risk ideators.
