“…Although the PAS was not developed with the intention of assessing change, given both the brevity and breadth of the measure, these findings suggest that small changes on the PAS may indicate meaningful changes in psychological functioning. These findings are further supported by previous research which suggest that small temporal changes on the PAS correlate meaningfully with changes on related self-report instruments (McCredie et al, 2020). Thus, the present study contributes additional support to the notion that even relatively small changes on the PAS may indicate meaningful psychological change, while also offering initial empirical evidence for the utility of a dynamic approach to crisis risk assessment.…”

Mental disorder is widespread in correctional settings, as is the potential for suicide and self-harm among detained individuals. The ability of the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) to identify potential mental health problems has been the focus of recent research in corrections, but few studies have examined the prediction of crisis events related to self-injuring thoughts and behaviors. We explored the utility of repeated PAS administrations among men incarcerated in prison ( N = 270) to identify those at risk for a subsequent crisis event involving potential self-harm. Baseline PAS total scores predicted the odds of experiencing a crisis event (odds ratio = 3.76–4.46) and, importantly, changes in PAS total scores over time incrementally predicted such events beyond scores assessed at a single time-point, t(49) = –2.14, p = .037. These preliminary findings demonstrate promise for the PAS as an indicator of potential self-injuring crisis events when administered at intake and regular intervals throughout incarceration.

“…Morey (1997) reported test–retest reliability coefficients of .79 for the total score, .73 for NA, and .84 for ST. The current sample demonstrated appreciable stability in PAS total score over time with test–retest scores ranging from .76 to .84 between administration periods (McCredie et al, 2020).…”

Sleep disturbance is associated with elevated suicidal ideation and negative affect. To date, however, no study has investigated the temporal relationship between sleep and suicidality among those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This preregistered (https://osf.io/4vugk) study tested whether nightly sleep (self-reported sleep duration, sleep onset latency, and subjective sleep quality) represents a (within-person) short-term risk factor for affective dysregulation and increases in suicide risk from day-to-day, as well as whether between-person differences in sleep, negative affect, and suicidality were associated. We used a 21-day ecological momentary assessment protocol in a sample of 153 people diagnosed with BPD, 105 of which had a history of serious suicide attempts, and 52 healthy controls (N=4086 days). We found a within-person association between worse subjective sleep quality and greater next day negative affect. At the between-person level, we found positive relationships between sleep latency and suicidal ideation, and a negative association between subjective sleep quality and negative affect. BPD severity did not significantly moderate the strength of any withinperson associations, although BPD was positively associated with average levels of suicidal ideation, sleep latency, and negative affect, and negatively related to subjective sleep quality. These findings suggest that the association of sleep with suicidal ideation and BPD exists largely at the between-persons rather than the within-person level. Disturbed sleep, therefore, seems to largely coincide, rather than specifically contribute to the exacerbation of suicidal crises in BPD.
