Attentional Fixation on Suicide Experiences Questionnaire (AFSEQ)

0 Shared Subjects

The Attentional Fixation on Suicide Experiences Questionnaire (AFSEQ) was developed to measure attentional fixation on suicide, a cognitive process characterized by a preoccupation with suicide as a solution. This 15-item self-report measure assesses participants' experiences immediately prior to a suicidal crisis with higher scores (ranging from 0 to 45) indicating greater attentional fixation.
