  1. Model 1 = Adjusted for seasonality. Model 2 = Model 1 adjusted for gender, age, substance use disorder and deliberate self-harm. Model 3 = Model 2 adjusted for number of in- and outpatient contacts in SUD and mental health services. Significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked with bold text
  2. Negative binomial regression models of the association between number of weeks from the last contact and comorbid mental disorders in SUD patients who died by suicide within one year after contact with SUD or mental health services
