  1. CPU: central processing unit; reported in hours, minutes, seconds; NPV: negative predictive value; PCL-C, PTSD Checklist−Civilian Version; PHQ, Patient Health Questionnaire; PPV: positive predictive value; PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder
  2. Self-reported suicidal ideation was indicated if reported “several days” or more to “thoughts that you would be better off dead or hurting yourself in some way”
  3. RAN: suicidal ideation was randomly assigned in line with the prevalence observed in the sample in 2007
  4. PHQ-BIN model: treated suicidal ideation as a dichotomous variable and included the remaining 8 PHQ items in the imputation model
  5. PHQ-ORD model: treated suicidal ideation as a 4-level variable and included the remaining 8 PHQ items in the imputation model
  6. ALL-BIN model: treated suicidal ideation as a dichotomous variable and included the 8 PHQ items and previously identified factors from the literature: sex, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education attainment, 10 individual items from the RAND physical functioning module, 17 individual items and PTSD screener from the PCL-C, smoking status, sleep duration, and 5 alcohol use items from the PHQ [27,28,29,30]
  7. ALL-ORD model: treated suicidal ideation as a 4-level variable and included the 8 PHQ items and previously identified factors from the literature: sex, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education attainment, 10 individual items from the RAND physical functioning module, 17 individual items and PTSD screener from the PCL-C, smoking status, sleep duration, and 5 alcohol use items from the PHQ [27,28,29,30]
