Note: MDD = Major Depressive Disorder assessed with the KSADS (Kaufman et al., 1996). APSD = Antisocial Process Screening Device (Frick & Hare, 2001); C/U = Callous/Unemotional. NAR = Narcissism. IMP = Impulsivity. Range of possible scores is 12, 14, and 10 for Callous/Unemotional, Narcissism, and Impulsivity, respectively. Overall suicide risk was assessed with the Suicide Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R; Osman et al., 2001), Self-Injurious Behavior and Suicide Attempts are categorical variables (0 = no, 1 = yes) and were assessed with a suicide interview adapted from Linehan and Comtois’ (1997) Lifetime Parasuicide Count.
