| Imminent risk indicated during chat | |||||
| Yes c | 107 (27.8%) | 14 (18.4%) | 1 (7.7%) | 122 (25.7%) | .095 |
a
Includes current suicidal ideation, past suicidal ideation, and suicidal ideation of indeterminate timing.
b
A code of “Don't Know” indicates that there was not enough information on this topic in the chat transcript to justify a code of Yes or No.
c
Indications of imminent risk were coded as present or absent, with no option of a “Don't Know” response.
