Note. This table depicts the hazard ratios for each respective outcome. Note that the hazards ratios reflect the effect of the given predictor on the outcome across time, such that hazards reflect the chance that the participant would search for a given mental health outcome at a later time. Each separate column depicts a separate outcome (mental health self-references, mental health self-diagnosis, seeking mental health care, psychoactive medications, suicidal intent, and suicidal ideation). The rows of this table each reflect the different multivariate predictors. The primary effects of interest were the screening content. For each outcome, we also controlled for the screening tool type (i.e. anxiety, bipolar, depression, eating disorder, psychosis, and posttraumatic stress disorder), the time of the day, the day of the week, the rate of prior searches for each outcome, and whether the screening tool was from the Mental Health America (the mental health screening domain with the largest user base). Stars denote statistically significant interactions (P<0.05, with Bonferroni correction). Note that blank rows were removed when they were invariant for non-censored outcomes.
