Concise Health Risk Tracking Scale

Abbreviation

CHRT

Description

The Concise Health Risk Tracking (CHRT, Trivedi et al, 2011) instrument is designed to monitor suicide-related factors to identify suicidal ideation and related symptoms, and to be used as a repeated measure to detect changes in these factors over time. These measures include questions about hopelessness, self-worth, pessimism about future, perception of social support, and active suicidal plans. It includes both a self-report scale (CHRT-SR) and a clinician rating scale (CHRT-C).
