Abstract
Introduction: The paper presents reference values for the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R) and population-based lifetime and 12-month prevalences on suicide related thoughts and behaviors (STBs).
Methods: A representative sample of the general German population was assessed (n=2.513).
Results: Mean SBQ-R score was 3.8. Lifetime prevalence of STBs was 15.5% (n=388), with higher rates found in women and in middle-aged adults. Lifetime STBs were disclosed by 5.7% (n=142) of respondents. 12-month prevalence was 5.1%, with women showing higher rates.
Conclusions: The results enable other researchers to compare their data to representative reference values on a widely used measure for STBs. Future studies might address the problem of low disclosure of STBs as well as the impact of methodological aspects, such as wording, on prevalence rates.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
