The study aimed to Preparing a battery for assessing suicide risk (B-SRA) among secondary school students. A random sample of (500) secondary school students (300 males and 200 females) aged 15 to 19 years was drawn from the study. The battery included five reliable global and local scales: the Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (BSS), the Suicidal Tendencies Scale (STS), the Evaluative Belief Scale (EBS), the Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS), and the Depression Scale (DS). Statistical analysis results demonstrated the validity and reliability of the developed battery, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.79 to 0.96, and high internal correlations between the battery scales. Exploratory factor analysis also confirmed the structure of the scales in assessing suicide risk among secondary school students. In a pilot setting, the battery demonstrated its ability to identify approximately (6) students as high-risk cases (1.2%), which is consistent with clinical and observational evidence of suicide risk. This result indicates the high diagnostic potential of the B-SRA test and its cultural relevance for early detection of suicide risk. The study recommends incorporating the B-SRA test into high school suicide prevention diagnostic and treatment programs.
