The aim of this study was to investigate the instruments available for measuring suicidal ideation in children.A systematic literature review was performed using Medline (Pubmed), Cochrane Library, VHL Regional Portal, PsycInfo and gray literature databases.The search returned 119 studies, seven of which met the inclusion criteria.Seven different instruments were identified (Child-Adolescent Suicidal Potential Index -CASPI, Risk of Suicide Questionnaire -RSQ, Children Behavior Checklist -CBCL, Mood and Feelings Questionnaire -MFQ, Suicidal Risk Scale for Hong Kong Students -C-SIS, Youth Self Report -YSR and Adolescent Suicide Assessment Protocol -20 -ASAP-20) whose main characteristics are briefly described.It is considered that knowledge about the validated instruments to measure suicidal ideation in childhood, in addition to being an important way in the identification and prevention of early death, allows expanding the discussion about the need to contemplate the different stages of development when approaching the theme of suicide.
