Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Short Grit Scale	The Short Grit Scale is an 8-item measure of trait-level perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Possible scores range from 5 to 40, with higher scores indicting higher levels of grit.	Baseline
Other	MMPI Posttest Inquiry (PTI)	The PTI assesses participants' compliance with condition-specific instructions for completing the MMPI and was adapted for the proposed research	Baseline
Other	PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) PTSD Checklist for DSM-5	The PCL-5 is a self-report measure assessing the severity of 20 PTSD symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater PTSD symptom severity.	Baseline
Primary	MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale	The MMPI-2-RF-EX Suicidal/Death Ideation scale is a self-report measure of current suicide risk contained within the instrument. T scores range from 45 to 100, with higher scores indicative of greater suicide risk.	Baseline
Primary	Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS)	The BSS is a 21-item measure of past-week suicide ideation and desire for death. Responses to items are scored on a 3-point Likert scale (range of 0- 2). Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater suicide risk.	Baseline
Secondary	Suicide Cognitions Scale (SCS)	The SCS is an 18-item survey measuring suicide-related thoughts and beliefs, unclouding hopelessness, perceived burdensomeness, entrapment, and unbearability.
