Statistics for age, total IDS-SR, and total PCL-5 are means and standard deviations. Prior hospitalization refers to the percentage of the subsample with self-reported lifetime history of at least one psychiatric hospitalization for suicidal risk verified by chart review. Sample size and sex are raw counts. Race is in percentage of sample size. Education refers to highest level of education completed. Major depression disorder (MDD) refers to percentage of sample meeting DSM diagnostic criteria for current MDD. DSM Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and other anxiety disorder were not available for all patients with PTSD and percentages are based on reduced sample sizes [Item>1 (n = 4); Item = 1 (n = 14), Item = 0 (n = 14)]. SUD and other anxiety information refer to meeting either current or past diagnostic criteria.
