SUICIDE SCREENING
INTENSITY OF IDEATIONS
Actual Attempt A potentially self-injurious act commited, with at least some wish to die, as a result of act. Behavior was in part thought of as method to kill oneself. Intent does not have to be 100%. If there is any intent/desire to die associated with the act, then it can be considered an actual suicide attempt. There does not have to be any injury or harm, just the potential for injury or harm. If person pulls trigger while gun is in mouth but gin is broken so no injury results, this is consdered an attempt. Inferring Intent: Even if an individual denies intent/wish to die, it may be inferred clinically from the behavior or cincumstances. For example, a highly lethal act that is clearly not an accident so no other intent but suicide can be inferred (e.g, gunshot to head, jumping from window of a high fllor/story). Also, if someone denies intent to die, but they thought that what they did could be lethal, intent may be inferred.
