aPoint-biserial correlation between self-esteem and suicidal ideation: −0.42 (P < .001).

bRegression coefficients and ORs are adjusted for age, education, ethnicity, HIV status, sexual orientation, openness with others regarding sexual orientation, and other mistreatment variables listed.

*P < .05; **P < .01; ***P < .001 (2-tailed).
