§ Significantly associated with past-year suicidal thoughts in univariate regressions Notes: Parental/family involvement defined here as having had homework checked by or received help with homework from other family members at the time of the survey among respondents in school, or otherwise during their last year of school. Please see the Methods section for more details. High social support was defined as having family alone or also non-relatives to turn to in times of need. Having no one to turn to or only non-relatives was characterized as not having high social support. Strong extended family ties was defined as having reported strength of ties of 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 5 among family members living in their city, town or community but in another household.
