Sociodemographic data, ACEs, social support, NSSI, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were described in both the total population and for boys and girls separately. Gender differences were assessed with the χ2-test for categorical variables and one-way analysis of variance for continuous variables. Binomial logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of NSSI, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt with ACEs and social support individually, and then in combination. In the models, adjustment was made for age, gender, regional area, school, urban/rurality, mother's education level, economic status of family and psychological symptoms. In examining the association of NSSI with ACEs and social support, we also used the thresholds of NSSI score
Gender differences in the associations were examined via two odds ratios (Ratio of two odds ratios, RORs).17 (link) All analyses were conducted with SPSS software, Windows version 16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).
