Notes: R2 = .07 (adjusted R2 = .06), F(2, 178) = 7.14, p < .001 for Step 1; R2 = .26 (adjusted R2 = .25, ΔR2 = .18), ΔF(1, 177) = 43.74, p < .001 for Step 2; R2 = .30 (adjusted R2 = .29, ΔR2 = .04), ΔF(1, 176) = 10.96, p < .001 for Step 3. SSI-C = Scale for Suicide Ideation for current episode; RFL-OA = Reasons for Living Scale—Older Adult version; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II.
