The Columbia-suicide severity rating scale: validity and psychometric properties of an online Spanish-language version in a Mexican population sample.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and psychometric properties in a Mexican sample of a Spanish-language online version of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Data were collected between May and October 2021 from 3,645 participants aged 18 years and over, who agreed to complete the questionnaire. Reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and psychometric properties were calculated using a two-parameter model. The results showed a reasonable level of reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.814, and evidence of unidimensionality, and construct validity for suicide risk at three risk levels: low, medium, and high. Analysis of the items suggests that they are consistent with the proposed theoretical model. Our results also demonstrate that the parameters are stable and able to efficiently discriminate individuals at high risk of suicide. We propose the use of this version of the C-SSRS in the Spanish-speaking population, since it is a multifactorial assessment of suicide risk and the inclusion of other clinical and risk factor assessments for a more comprehensive evaluation.

Project description:AimsTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Activities Scale for Kids capability (ASKc) and ASK performance (ASKp) questionnaires.DesignIt includes an analysis of different types of reliability (internal consistency, test-retest, inter-rater, Rasch model) and validity (convergent and discriminant) values.SettingsThe sample was recruited in schools, associations and one hospital in Spain.ParticipantsThe main sample comprised 448 children (114 with disabilities); and 96 parents of the group of 114 children with disabilities, along with 2 therapists.Methods and procedureChildren with physical disabilities completed questionnaires at two different time points; while healthy children only once. Both ASK questionnaires were also administered to parents. Therapists observed 69 children in 15 of the 30 activities listed in the ASKc.Primary and secondary outcome measuresASKc and ASKp were used to measure physical disability among children. The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), The Screening For and Promotion of Health-Related Quality of Life in Childrenand Adolescents - a European Public Health perspective (KIDSCREEN), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) were used to analyse convergent validity.ResultsExcellent values were obtained for the reliability of the scale. Internal consistency was >0.95 (Cronbach's α) for both questionnaires. The intraclass correlation coefficient test-retest reliability was 0.94 (ASKc) and 0.93 (ASKp). Correlations between parents' and children's scores were 0.91(ASKc) and 0.90 (ASKp); and the correlation between therapists' and children's scores was 0.78. The Rasch analysis indicated that the Spanish version had a unidimensional structure. Furthermore, the results revealed adequate validity indices. Both ASK questionnaires correlated significantly with the CHAQ, three dimensions of the KIDSCREEN and the GMFCS, MACS and FMS. Finally, children without disabilities had higher ASKc and ASKp scores than children with disabilities (p=0.0001).ConclusionsBoth the ASKc and the ASKp versions are reliable and valid instruments that can be used to measure the capabilities of Spanish-speaking children, whose responses also demonstrate their own reliability as informants of the impact of disability on the activities of daily living.
