Cell entries are sample size (N and %), odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The table presents results from Models 1 and 2 examining exposure to sexual and physical abuse (coded as 0 = unexposed; 1 = exposed) and age at first exposure (coded as 0 = unexposed; 1 = early childhood [ages 0–5]; 2 = middle childhood [ages 6–10]; 3 = adolescence [ages 11–18]) on suicide ideation, suicide plan, and suicide attempt. ORs and 95% CIs indicate effects for exposure and timing of exposure relative to the reference of never exposed in any developmental timing period.
