Notes: RR: relative risk (e.g., RR of ESPP/preintervention group = risk for completed suicide when exposed to ESPP group relative to exposure to preintervention group); group: intervention group (ESPP versus preintervention group); CI: confidence interval.

a

p values are from Poisson regression with df = 1.

b

Relative risk and p value could not be calculated as Hessian matrix singularity was caused by parameter.
