Initial Development of a Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Test for Intensive Longitudinal Assessment of Suicide Risk: Development and Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intensive longitudinal designs support temporally granular study of processes, making methods like ecological momentary assessment (EMA) increasingly common in medical and behavioral science. However, the repetitive and intensive measurement strategies associated with these designs increase participant burden, which limits the breadth and precision of EMA surveys. This is particularly problematic for complex clinical phenomena, such as suicide risk, which research has shown is multidimensional and fluctuates over narrow time intervals (eg, hours). To overcome this limitation, we proposed the Computerized Adaptive Test for Suicide Risk Pathways (CAT-SRP), which supports the simultaneous assessment of multiple empirically informed risk domains and facilitates personalized
