Associations between ATTS-20 subfactors and mental health outcomes were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and multivariable logistic regression adjusted for key covariates.Results Lifetime prevalence of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts was 72.5%, 53.8%, and 13.4%, respectively. In adjusted models, lifetime history of depressive symptoms and lack of social support were significantly associated with both lifetime suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.20\u20135.89; aOR=2.57, 95% CI: 1.52\u20134.43, respectively) and suicide attempts (aOR=4.95, 95% CI: 1.88\u201317.10; aOR=2.67, 95% CI: 1.44\u20134.96, respectively). Regarding ATTS-20 factors, \u201cpermissiveness\u201d and \u201cunpredictability\u201d were significantly associated with lifetime history of depressive symptoms (aOR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.22\u20132.30; aOR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.12\u20131.97, respectively) in multivariable analysis. Notably, the \u201crelation-caused\u201d factor (believing suicide is triggered by external relational problems) was significantly associated with suicide attempts (aOR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.01\u20132.00).Conclusion This study found high prevalence of lifetime depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts among South Korean adult EIWs. In multivariable adjusted models, attitudes toward suicide of EIWs were associated with their lifetime depressive symptoms and suicide attempts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.30773\/pi.2025.0451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]],"date-time":"2026-09-21T08:08:25Z","timestamp":1789978105000},"page":"1330-1342","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.30773\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Attitudes
