Highlights
•
Studies of suicidal behavior are hampered by low base rates outcomes. Therefore, measures proximal to suicidal behavior are needed.
Suicide-related coping, a new construct, and a scale, the Suicide-Related Coping Scale, for its measurement, are described.
The scale is a promising measure with good reliability and validity. It can assess suicide-related coping in clinical practice and trials.
