      Hello,

      I want to know in regards to the measure: Adult Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Suicide Risk Assessment.

      can the PHQ-9 work? or is there a specific assessment tool needed? if not, do we need to use the ASQ toolkit? 

      Also, will this measure be available for 2024 reporting?
