in the sex-stratified analyses after adjusting for demographic variables, and odds ratios were very close to 1 in the fully adjusted models (OR=0.996; 95% CI: 0.951, 1.043; p=.87 for men; OR=1.011; 95% CI: 0.948, 1.078; p=.74 for women; Table S43). Odds ratios describing covariate associations for Model 3 are listed in Table S44. We estimated an additional model in which all covariates that were not significantly associated with suicide at p<.05 in either the overall or sex-specific models were excluded (zero-tolerance policy, BAC .08 policy, marijuana decriminalization, citizen political orientation, percapita mental health spending and percentage of uninsured adults). In this refined model (Model 4), the ORs of interest were identical to the previous model and the confidence intervals were only slightly larger (Table 2).
