Tests for additive interaction between substance use disorders and poverty on first time suicide attempt/thought* (N=31,568)
Variable | Effect When Not In Poverty |
Effect When In Poverty |
Test of Interaction |
---|---|---|---|
RD% (SE) p-value | RD% (SE) p-value | IC% (SE) p-value | |
Substance Use Disorders | |||
(ref = No Disorder) | |||
Alcohol Use Disorder Only | 0.7% (0.5%) 0.14 | 0.1% (0.1%) 0.95 | −0.7% (1.1%) 0.55 |
Drug Use Disorder Only | 2.5% (1.5%) 0.10 | 0.6% (2.5%) 0.80 | −1.9% (2.9%) 0.52 |
Both Alcohol/Drug Use Disorders | 0.5% (1.0%) 0.59 | 2.7% (2.5%) 0.29 | 2.1% (2.7%) 0.43 |
RD% = Risk Difference. For example the RD%=0.1% for substance use disorder in the Effect when in Poverty column means that the risk of first-time suicide attempt/thought is 0.1% higher when a person in poverty has an alcohol use disorder only compared to not having any substance use disorders but still being in poverty.
IC% = Interaction contrast Risk Difference (This is the difference in the RD effect when in poverty compared to when not in poverty).
