Notes: Changes in the likelihood (adjusted probability or marginal prevalence ratio) of suicidal thoughts for those with a characteristic compared with those without the characteristic were calculated while simultaneously including other characteristics in the analysis. Household income and/or highest level of schooling were also included as control characteristics that may account for other unknown or unmeasured characteristics that may explain suicidal thoughts (not shown). For more details on regression results, see appendix (Tables B.1 to B.3). The fold-changes were not statistically compared between Aboriginal groups and sexes. For example, fold-change for mood and/or anxiety disorders among First Nations men was not compared with the same in other groups. Source: Statistics Canada, Aboriginal Peoples Survey, 2012 |
