Furthermore, the more suicidal risk factors are, the higher suicidal risk is (Wu, Jin, & Hsu, 1995). Using台灣eSOS自殺危機個案處理系統 as the database, this study undertook a secondary analysis to examine whether the highest suicidal risk group had the most suicidal risk factors and to understand what these risk factors were. Moreover, this study also aimed to find out if there were any differences between different suicidal risk groups. To understand the questions mentioned before, this study analyzed the data of the Taipei Lifeline callers from 2011 to 2013, dividing data into four groups according to previous suicidal attempt record and current suicidal ideation record: group 0 (the lowest suicidal risk group) had no previous suicidal attempt and no current suicidal ideation; group 1 had no previous suicidal attempt but had current suicidal ideation; group 2 had previous suicidal attempt without current suicidal ideation; group 3 (the highest suicidal risk group) had both previous suicidal attempt and current suicidal ideation. This study conducted a multinominal logistic regression to find out which suicidal risk factors could significantly predict the four suicidal risk groups. The results showed that female, having a romantic partner, living alone, unemployment, psychiatric disorders, and substance abuse could all cumulatively cause an individual’s suicidal risk. Furthermore, the group 3 did have the highest suicidal risk factors and was followed by group 2 and 1. The results also showed that having a problematic or lack of interpersonal relationship could lead to higher risk of having current suicidal ideation, while female and people with psychiatric disorder had greater risk of having a previous suicidal attempt.
