INQ ‐15 Cutoff Scores for Suicidal Ideation Screening of Women with Chronic, Invisible Illnesses

In this study, women (N = 942) who reported one or more chronic, invisible illnesses completed an online survey i ncluding the INQ‐15 and the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire‐Revised (SBQ‐R). PB and TB correlated significantly with SBQ‐R total scores (r = .575 and .437, respectively;p< .01). In a Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis, scores of 17 for PB and 37 for TB maximized the correct classification of high ‐ and low‐risk participants, with slightly higher classification accuracy for PB than TB (AUCs = .781 and.701, respectively). These results support the INQ‐15 scales in screening for suicidal ideation among chronically ill women.
