“…Soldiers were offered clinical care guided by the CAMS approach (Jobes, 2016;Jobes, Comtois, Brenner, Gutierrez, & O'Connor, 2016). CAMS is a suicide-specific therapeutic framework that employs the use of a multipurpose assessment, treatment-planning, tracking, and outcome tool called the Suicide Status Form (SSF).…”

“…CAMS is a collaborative approach to the therapeutic assessment of suicidal risk, as well as a treatment framework that targets patient‐defined “drivers” of suicidality in order to reduce risk and Hopelessness while building hope and reasons for living (Jobes, , ). Thus far, a growing amount of evidence shows CAMS is effective in rapidly reducing suicide ideation, decreases Hopelessness while increasing hope, and is preferred by patients compared to treatment as usual (Jobes, Comtois, Brenner, Gutierrez, & O'Connor, ). Most of the existing evidence for CAMS’ effectiveness comes from studies of adults in various settings.…”

Background For adults, the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS; Jobes, (2006, Managing suicidal risk: A collaborative approach, New York, Guilford) and Jobes, (2016, Managing suicidal risk: A collaborative approach, New York, Guilford)) is a treatment framework with replicated evidenced‐based support for effectiveness. The current study is a psychometric validation of the Suicide Status Form (SSF‐IV), the main assessment and treatment planning tool for CAMS, in an adolescent psychiatric sample. Methods Data were collected from 100 adolescents, aged 12–17, in inpatient settings (mean age = 14.6; 67.5% female, 80% white). Adolescents were administered Part A of the SSF‐IV, as well as measures of overall suicide risk (both explicit and implicit), mental pain, Stress, Agitation, reasons for living, and self‐esteem. Results Confirmatory factor analysis found a two‐factor model to fit the data best, with Psychological Pain, Stress, and Agitation loading on one factor, and Hopelessness and Self‐Hate on another. All of the core SSF constructs except Stress were significantly correlated with concurrent measures, and SSF overall suicide risk was significantly correlated with self‐reported and implicit suicidality. Adolescents with suicide attempt history reported significantly higher scores on most core SSF items compared to no attempt history. Conclusions These results provide initial psychometric validation of the SSF for use with adolescents and indicate that it does not need to be adapted or modified for this age group.

Objective The CAMS Rating Scale (CRS) is an adherence measure for the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), a suicide‐specific clinical intervention. This study examined the ability of the CRS to assess adherence to CAMS. Methods Video‐recorded therapy sessions of clinicians delivering either CAMS or Enhanced Care‐As‐Usual (E‐CAU) were rated with the CRS. These ratings (N = 98) were used to evaluate criterion validity, internal consistency, and factor structure. Results Criterion validity and factor analyses did not support the organization of the CRS into its current subscales. Furthermore, the identified factor model and item‐level statistics revealed weak CRS items. Finally, internal consistency was higher among CAMS clinicians than among clinicians delivering E‐CAU. Conclusion These results establish the CRS as a measure that can effectively assess the adherence to CAMS in its current form. Potential revisions to future iterations of the CRS are discussed.
