  1. Notes. EMA active and passive suicidal ideation, and EMA depression were measured with two items resulting in a sum score from 2 to 10 for each variable; EMA state impulsivity was measured with four items resulting in a sum score from 4 to 20
  2. Baseline depression (DESC) was measured with ten items resulting in a sum score from 0 to 40; baseline suicidal ideation (BSS) was measured with 21 items resulting in a sum score from 0 to 38; baseline suicidal behavior (SBQ-R) was measured with four items resulting in a sum score from 3 to 18
  3. The means of the EMA variables represent the average of the possible 438 (73 persons * 6 days of EMA) daily means (observations) and the EMA minimum and maximum values represent the range of the daily means
  4. a N = number of observations
  5. b N = number of participants
