People have been citing our 2015 paper "Single-Item Measurement of Suicidal Behaviors: Validity and Consequences of Misclassification" to critique single-item EMA measurement of suicidal urges, intent, etc. I'll explain why this is inappropriate use of that paper🧵1/7

That paper focused on the validity only of asking the yes/no question "Have you ever seriously thought about killing yourself?" bc it's ambiguous. e.g., if I'm a participant that has thought, "I wish I was dead" (passive thoughts) -should I answer yes or no to that question? 2/7

People are talking more about mental health recently, but we never hear explanations of what mental health actually is.
