Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A female over the age of twenty one would be considered the one in four at risk for suicide if there is no predicating factor that might indicate a suicide risk. However, as alcohol is a depressive, all clients' suicide risk should be assessed. Sustaining from heavy or moderate alcohol or drug abuse, especially cocaine, should be considered a grief issue that might exacerbate depression. Assessments such as Suicide Assessment Checklist, the Suicide Intent Scale and the SAD Persons Scale can be used to access that possibility of suicide.
