Table 2.

Percentages and Odds Ratios of Suicidal Ideation/Behavior among Students with and without Asthma Who Did and Did Not Report Being Bullied Electronically

Asthma Not Present (N = 10,340) Asthma Present (N = 2814)

Suicidal Ideation/Behavior Not Bullied Electronically (N = 9002) Bullied Electronically (N = 1338) Not Bullied Electronically (N = 2313) Bullied Electronically (N = 501)
Contemplation
% reporting “Yes” 12.2% 38.5% 16.3% 42.7%
OR (95% CI) Ref 2.4 (2.0 – 2.9) Ref 2.2 (1.7 – 3.0)
Plan
% reporting “Yes” 9.6% 29.7% 13.7% 36.7%
OR (95% CI) Ref 2.2 (1.8 – 2.8) Ref 2.2 (1.6 – 3.2)
Attempt
% reporting “Yes” 5.0% 21.2% 6.6% 25.7%
OR (95% CI) Ref 3.0 (2.4 – 3.7) Ref 3.3 (2.2 – 4.8)
Injury
% reporting “Yes” 1.3% 9.2% 1.8% 9.7%
OR (95% CI) Ref 4.5 (3.1 – 6.6) Ref 3.5 (2.0 – 6.0)

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.
