Group proportions for indicators of young adult functional status by suicide risk status.

Young adult functional status	Group I, no observed risk (n = 561)	Group II, emerged risk (n = 41)	Group III, reduced risk (n = 112)	Group IV, persisted risk |(n = 45)	F statistic across the four groups	Significant differences
Employed	0.72 (405)	0.54 (22)	0.77 (86)	0.60 (27)	3.66**	III > II
Employed full-time	0.43 (243)	0.24 (10)	0.52 (58)	0.27 (12)	4.8***	III > II, IV
Post–high school education	0.59 (333)	0.36 (15)	0.60 (67)	0.44 (20)	3.87***	I > II & II < III*
Not in school and not working	0.13 (75)	0.32 (13)	0.11 (12)	0.22 (10)	4.67***	II > I, III
Public assistance	0.10 (55)	0.12 (5)	0.14 (16)	0.24 (11)	3.12**	IV > I

Note: Dichotomous variables for functional status were coded as yes = 1, no = 0. Scores represent proportion of cases answering “yes.” Sub-sample (all yes’s) sizes in parentheses.
