Note: LT-SA vs LT-No SA = Lifetime suicide attempt (n=182) vs. No lifetime suicide attempt (n=388); LT-SA vs. LT-SI = Lifetime suicide attempt (n=182) vs. Lifetime suicidal ideation (with no history of a suicide attempt) (n=302); PY-SA vs. LT-SA = Past year suicide attempt (n=37) vs. Lifetime (but not past year) suicide attempt (n=134); PY-SA vs. PW-SI = Past week suicide ideation and past year suicide attempt (n=37) vs. past week suicide ideation (with no lifetime history of attempts) (n=121). AUC-ROC = Area under the curve for the receiver operating characteristic. Parentheses contain 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals.
