4/4 💡 Overall, the findings support flexibility in INQ-15 item sequencing, while highlighting the need to further examine how thwarted belongingness is measured. Great to see this work published and freely available! 👏 #SuicideResearch #Psychometrics #SuicidePrevention

Sean M. Mitchell, Ph.D. @drseanmitchell.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

3/4 💡 However, thwarted belongingness items 9, 11, and 12 consistently raised model-fit concerns across all three conditions. Removing these items improved model fit while maintaining strong internal consistency.

100

Sean M. Mitchell, Ph.D. @drseanmitchell.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

We randomized 600 participants to complete the INQ-15 in standard, reversed, or randomized item order. 🔎 What did we find? 💡 Item sequencing did not meaningfully affect the factor structure or associations with suicide-related variables.

5/5 There was substantial interest in more training: 🔹 91.8% were interested in additional training 🔹 86.6% were willing to participate virtually The findings highlight a gap between providers’ frequent encounters with youth suicide risk and their prior training. #SuicidePrevention

Sean M. Mitchell, Ph.D. @drseanmitchell.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

4/5 Rural and non-rural providers were similar in prior training, knowledge/skills, and use of evidence-based practices. However, rural providers reported significantly lower confidence conducting youth suicide risk assessment/intervention. #RuralHealth

Sean M. Mitchell, Ph.D. @drseanmitchell.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

2/5 A major finding: Nearly 70% of pediatric health care providers had never participated in youth suicide risk assessment/intervention training. Yet 98% had treated at least one suicidal patient in the past year, averaging 9.3 patients.

2/ The findings provide preliminary support for the IHS as a clinically meaningful and theory-informed tool for suicide risk assessment, case conceptualization, and intervention planning. One thing I appreciate about this work is its translational focus between theory and clinical application.
