Threshold and subthreshold Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and suicide ideation

Using data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey–Mental Health, this study estimated the prevalence of past 12-month threshold and subthreshold GAD in the household population aged 15 or older. Sociodemographic and psychiatric correlates of GAD were also examined. Multivariate analysis was conducted to determine if threshold GAD and subthreshold GAD were independently associated with suicide ideation when taking sociodemographic and comorbid psychiatric disorders into account.
