q3 · i? · associational · r2

Cross-sectional analysis of 11,015 ABCD Study children aged 9–10 using caregiver-reported K-SADS bullying and suicidality measures. The study reports "Bullied children were more likely to display NSSI or passive suicidality" with OR 2.4 and active suicidality with OR 3.4, both p < 0.001.

"Bullied children were more likely to display NSSI or passive suicidality [OR, 2.4 (95% CI, 2.0–2.9); p < 0.001] and active suicidality [OR, 3.4 (95% CI, 2.7–4.2); p < 0.001] than those with no bullying"
