Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Beck Hopelessness Scale-5 (BHS-5)
BHS is a self-report measure that assess hopelessness using a dichotomist scoring system (0 or 1).This study will use a 5-item version of the BHS developed by the Military Suicide Research Consortium. The score ranges between 0 and 5 with a higher scores indicated higher levels of hopelessness. A change in score will be reported.
Behavioral Inhibition/Activation System Scale (BIS/BAS Scale)
BIS-BAS scale is a 24-item self-reporting scale for the assessment of BIS and BAS sensitivities. All items are measured on a four-point Likert scale with one indicating strong agreement and four as strong disagreements. BIS sensitivity is measured as a single factor with seven items, and the BAS sensitivity is measured as three subfactors, namely drive, reward responsiveness, and fun seeking, each measured by 4, 5, and 4 items, respectively. The scale also contains four filler items which are not scored. All the items other than two and 22 are reverse scored. A change in score will be reported.
Depressive Symptoms Index-Suicidality Subscale (DSI-SS)
The DSI-SS will be used to assess current suicidal ideation. The DSI-SS is a 4-item self-report measure of suicidal ideation that focuses on ideation, plans, perceived control over ideation, and impulses for suicide. Scores on each item range from 0 to 3, with higher scores reflecting greater severity of suicidal ideation. Total scores range from 0-12. A change in score will be reported.
Entrapment Scale (ES)
The ES is a 16-item measure utilizes a 5-point Likert scale (0 = not at all like me; 4 = extremely like me) to evaluates both internal and external entrapment. Possible range of scores is from 0-64 with a higher score indicating greater feeling of entrapment. A change in score will be reported.
