ABSTRACT

The data are given in Table 2.1; missing values are coded as −99. There are a variety of questions that might be addressed by these data; for example, do women who have recently contemplated suicide differ in any respects from those who have not? Also of interest are the correlations between anxiety and depression and between weight change, age,

and IQ. It should be noted, however, that any associations found from cross-sectional observational data like these are at best suggestive of causal relationships.
