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.
