Evaluating the Clinical Utility of the Interpersonal Hopelessness Scale Among Adults With Past-Year Suicide Ideation.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe Interpersonal Hopelessness Scale (IHS) measures hopelessness about thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB) improving over time, which represent core components of the interpersonal theory of suicide. We aimed to evaluate IHS clinical utility by examining whether IHS total and subscale scores predicted both concurrent and short-term prospective suicidal desire.
methodsUS adults with past-year suicide ideation completed online self-report assessments at two time points, 1 week apart (Wave 1 [W1], n = 595; Wave 2 [W2], n = 200).
resultsIHS total, TB, and PB scores were each significantly associated with the presence of concurrent suicidal desire and adequately discriminated between those with and without suicidal desire. Prospectively, all W1 IHS scores predicted W2 suicidal desire; however, area under the curve statistic values were lower than in concurrent models. When including both IHS subscales as simultaneous predictors, only IHS-PB remained a significant predictor of prospective suicidal desire. We present clinical cutoff scores and estimated probabilities of suicidal desire to support IHS score interpretation in applied settings.
conclusionThese findings provide preliminary support for the IHS as a theory-informed and clinically meaningful tool for suicide risk assessment, with the potential to enhance case conceptualization and guide intervention planning.
