1The P value corresponds to the comparison of the three types of gender identity. However, when comparing only the male gender with the female gender, the P value is 0.280.
2The P value corresponds to comparing heterosexual orientation with the other three groups.
3The P value corresponds to comparing those who live with both parents or their partner (with or without children) with the other groups (lives only with the mother, only with the father, with other relatives, and other situations).
4The P value compares the group with higher education to those with basic and intermediate education. The "Doesn't know" group is excluded from the analysis to reduce the error due to misclassification.
The frequency of high suicide risk for the categories of each variable is presented.
