HWC Sprint 18, HWC Sprint 19
As a Community Health Officer (CHO) I want to complete a suicide risk screening after a PHQ-9 assessment so that suicide risk can be consistently identified, classified, and escalated when required.
Data Fields & Behavior
| Field | Type | Options | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thoughts of self-harm or suicide | Radio | Yes / No | Mandatory |
| Previous suicide attempt | Radio | Yes / No | Mandatory if thoughts = Yes |
| Current intent or plan | Radio | Yes / No | Mandatory if thoughts = Yes |
| Access to means | Radio | Yes / No | Mandatory if thoughts = Yes |
| CHO assesses immediate risk | Radio | Yes / No | Mandatory |
| Suicide Risk Level | Auto-calculated | Low / Moderate / High | Derived from responses + CHO judgement |
| Referral alert | System alert | — | Triggered if risk = Moderate or High |
Acceptance Criteria
- Suicide Risk Screening is displayed after PHQ-9 completion.
- “Thoughts of self-harm or suicide” is a mandatory field.
- If “Thoughts of self-harm or suicide” is set to Yes, the following fields become mandatory:
- Previous suicide attempt
- Current intent or plan
- Access to means
- “CHO assesses immediate risk” is mandatory in all cases.
- Suicide Risk Level is automatically derived as Low, Moderate, or High based on screening responses and CHO clinical judgement.
- Suicide Risk Level is read-only and cannot be manually edited.
- A system-generated referral alert is triggered when Suicide Risk Level is Moderate or High.
- No referral alert is generated when Suicide Risk Level is Low.
- The screening cannot be submitted if mandatory or conditionally mandatory fields are incomplete.
- Clear validation messages are shown for missing required fields.
