Exploring associations between the Modular Assessment of Risk for Imminent Suicide (MARIS) questionnaire and recent suicidal ideation and behavior among patients admitted at an acute psychiatric inpatient department.

Both the STS-SF and the TRQ-SF showed concurrent and incremental validity with regard to suicidal ideation. This is the first study showing the cross-cultural validity of the MARIS and supports its clinical utility as a suicide risk assessment tool in inpatient settings. Additionally, this study adds to the literature supporting the value of assessing clinicians' emotional responses to high risk patients.
