Table 3. Statistical Results for Models Examining Early-life Unpredictability Associations with Psychiatric Symptoms.

Table 3 depicts the original statistical model to examine contribution of early life unpredictability to psychiatric symptoms at Visit 1 (Table 3A) followed by models comparing contribution of unpredictability and childhood trauma at Visit 1 (Table 3B) and main effects of unpredictability across all 3 visits (Table 3C).

%ΔSI=percent change in suicidal ideation with for every unit increase in QUIC total

ΔR2= We conducted a series of hierarchical linear regressions in R Studio to inspect the change in R-square (ΔR2) with the addition of the QUIC to the CTQ in explaining variance in our primary outcome variables. See results section for details. NS=Not significant.
