Abstract

Hornig & McNally (1995) argue that we did not control optimally for comorbid disorders known to increase suicide risk. In our initial paper (Weissman et al, 1989), we controlled statistically for major depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and agoraphobia separately, and for the latter three disorders, in combination. The odds ratio did not change significantly with all of the combinations.
