Time 2 was 7–11 weeks after Time 1. WTD = wish to die; WTL = wish to live; Debate = internal suicidal debate; Predict = prediction of future suicide attempts; Ideation = suicidal ideation; Behaviors = suicidal behaviors; Comm. = communication of suicidality; SBQ-R = Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised; SABCS = Suicidal ABC Scale; SABCS-4 = total of T2 items. Steiger’s z compared SABCS and SBQ-R correlations.
