| Lifetime history of attempted suicide | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consistently reported at both waves (n = 211) | Reported only at follow‐up not at baseline (n = 57) | Reported only at baseline not at follow‐up (n = 63) | Overall p‐valued | |
| Change in number of current disorders, mean (SD) | –0.65 (1.43)b | –0.26 (1.55)b,c | –0.94 (1.34)c | 0.04 |
| Course of suicidal ideation | 0.27 | |||

a
Due to missings, total N varies between 318–331.
b,c
Significant difference in symptoms change between two types of reporting a lifetime history of suicide attempts in univariate analysis, p < 0.10.
d
Based on χ 2 tests and ANOVAs.
