Conditional logistic regressions of risk factors on violent and non-violent suicide methods.

Variables	VCA vs. VCO		NCA vs. NCO
	p	OR (95% CI)	p	OR (95% CI)
BHS	0.118	1.08 (0.98–1.18)	<0.001	1.14 (1.06–1.22)
GDS	<0.001	1.10 (1.07–1.13)	<0.001	1.06 (1.03–1.10)

VCA, Violent Cases; NCA, Non-violent Cases; VCO, Violent Controls; NCO, Non-violent Controls; BHS, Beck Hopelessness Scale; GDS, Geriatric Depression Scale; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

The backward stepwise method was used in this logistic regression model.
