The model in boldface represents the most theoretically and statistically meaningful measurement model for mental health burden; Model 1 includes all five indicators of mental health burden; Model 2 includes all but the attempted suicide indicator; Model 3 includes all but the suicidal thoughts indicator; and Model 4 includes all but the attempted suicide and suicidal thoughts indicators
