Table 2 summarizes the descriptive information for all variables by gender. In general, females showed a greater risk for suicidal ideation (26.8% of females vs. 18.1% of males, p < 0.001), suicide attempts (5.5% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.001), unhealthy weight control behavior (57.5% vs. 31.0%, p < 0.001), sleep dissatisfaction (43.6 % vs. 37.7%, p < 0.001), and depression (45.8% vs. 35.7%, p < 0.001) than did males. However, current alcohol drinking (26.9% of females vs. 30.0% of males, p < 0.001), cigarette smoking (7.9 of females vs. 14.0% of males, p < 0.001), and butane gas or glue sniffing (0.9% of females vs. 1.8% of males, p < 0.001) were more prevalent in boys than in girls.
