	Asthma Not Present (N = 10,340)		Asthma Present (N = 2814)
Suicidal Ideation/Behavior	Not Bullied at School (N = 8520)	Bullied at School (N = 1820)	Not Bullied at School (N = 2185)	Bullied at School (N = 629)
Contemplation
% reporting “Yes”	11.3%	35.1%	16.2%	38.5%
OR (95% CI)	Ref	2.7 (2.3 – 3.2)	Ref	1.8 (1.5 – 2.3)
Plan
% reporting “Yes”	9.1%	26.7%	12.8%	35.6%
OR (95% CI)	Ref	2.3 (1.9 – 2.7)	Ref	2.3 (1.7 – 3.1)
Attempt
% reporting “Yes”	4.9%	17.0%	6.9%	21.5%
OR (95% CI)	Ref	2.5 (2.0 – 3.0)	Ref	2.3 (1.7 – 3.1)
Injury
% reporting “Yes”	1.3%	6.8%	2.1%	7.5%
OR (95% CI)	Ref	3.3 (2.5 – 4.4)	Ref	2.2 (1.5 – 3.3)

Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in this table were adjusted for age, sex, race, and feeling sad for 2 weeks or longer in the past 12 months. The ORs reflect the relative increase in the odds of suicidal ideation/behavior among students who reported being bullied when compared to students who did not report being bullied.
