Developed equations from 87 demographic & mental status variables of 2,078 subjects to predict 5 clinically important types of ideation; equations were cross-validated. Multiple correlations were all statistically significant. The resulting prediction equations should improve accuracy of assessment for homicidal, assaultive, suicidal, persecutory & homosexual ideation.
