Demographic information for attempters vs non-attempters

Attempters (N = 216) Non-attempters (N = 648)
M ± SD (range) M ± SD (range) Comparison
Age (years) 34.86 ± 11.46 (16 – 77) 40.35 ± 12.67 (16 – 81) F(1,862) = 31.91, P < .0001
n (%) n (%)
White or caucasian 188 (87%) 580 (90%) F(1,862) = 1.00, P = .32
Previous suicide attempt 165 (76%) 214 (33%) F(1,862) = 108.40, P < .0001
Baseline Clinical scores
 Suicidal ideation (more than usual) 99 (46%) 180 (28%) N/A
 Agitation (more than usual) 110 (51%) 242 (38%) N/A
 Depressed mood (> 50% of the time) 122 (56%) 286 (44%) N/A
 Anxiety (> 50% of the time) 93 (43%) 232 (36%) N/A
 Global assessment of function 55.2 ± 13.15 60.97 ± 11.31 N/A

Note: Differences between groups in clinical variables are not hypothesized to be similar and were therefore not tested (N/A). The statistical significance of demographic differences are to be interpreted with caution, as the large sample size affords power to detect even inconsequential differences. The covariates age, gender, and history of suicide attempt were selected a priori and were included regardless of whether the difference between groups was statistically significant.
