Note: LT-SA vs LT-No SA = Lifetime suicide attempt (BIAT: n=372; IAT: n=598) vs. No lifetime suicide attempt (BIAT: n=789; IAT: n=1257); LT-SA vs. LT-SI = Lifetime suicide attempt (BIAT n=598; IAT n=605) vs. Lifetime suicidal ideation (BIAT n=613; IAT n=941); PY-SA vs. LT-SA = Past year suicide attempt (BIAT n=103; IAT n=198) vs. Lifetime (but not past year) suicide attempt (BIAT n=269; IAT n=400);); PY-SA vs. PW-SI = Past week suicide ideation and past year suicide attempt (BIAT n=76; IAT n=147) vs. past week suicide ideation (with no lifetime history of attempts) (BIAT n=218, IAT n=370). AUC-ROC = Area under the curve for the receiver operating characteristic. Parentheses contain 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals.
