Notes. Each outcome represents a separate model. Romantic relationships and history of suicide attempts are dichotomized (so that 0=Non-Romantic relationships/No suicide attempts). Demographic controls are centered so that intercepts represent a typical participant in I-SPI. Values significant at p<.05 bolded. SAFER=Safe Actions for Families to Encourage Recovery; I-SPI=Individual Safety Planning Intervention
