What level of suicide lethality is described as Low-moderate?

• A. Low
• B. Low-moderate
• C. Moderate
• D. High

Answer: (B)

In suicide risk assessment, lethality categories describe how likely a death would be if a plan were carried out, with terms like Low, Low-moderate, Moderate, and High used to guide safety decisions. The label that reads "Low-moderate" identifies a mid-range level of lethality—higher than Low but not as high as Moderate. This exact descriptor is what’s being asked for, so it best fits the prompt. The other terms correspond to different ends of the spectrum (Low, Moderate, High) and do not match the specified mid-range label. In practice, Low-moderate suggests a need for closer monitoring and targeted safety planning, reflecting a risk above simple Low but not yet at the highest risk level.
