Association of sleep problems with suicidal behaviors and healthcare utilization in adults with chronic diseases: the role of mental illness
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep problems and suicidal behaviors as well as healthcare utilization in Canadian adults with chronic diseases, while also examining the mediating role of mental illness. METHODS: Data were drawn from the 2015-16 cycle of the Canadian Community Health Survey, specifically from Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan - the provinces that included the optional sleep module. A total of 22,700 participants aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed with at least one chronic disease were included in the analysis. Sleep problems were defined as extreme sleep durations (either < 5 or ≥ 10 h) and insomnia. Mental illness was classified as a self-reported mood or anxiety disorder. RESULTS: Participants with extreme sleep durations (compared to 7 to < 8 h) and those with insomnia (compared to no insomnia) showed a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicidal plans, and increased healthcare utilization. After adjusting for multiple covariates, both extreme sleep durations and insomnia remained significantly associated with increased odds of suicidal ideation, suicidal plans, and healthcare utilization. Mediation analyses indicated that mental illness partially mediated these associations. CONCLUSIONS: Both extreme sleep durations and insomnia were independently associated with higher odds of suicidal behaviors and increased healthcare utilization in adults with chronic diseases, with mental illness playing a partial mediating role in these relationships.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
