Suicidal ideation observed at least at one of the three assessment contacts (6, 12, 18 months).

The electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (e-CSSRS) will be used to investigate suicide ideation \& behaviors. Questionnaire was developped with NIMH support to screen \& quantify suicide risk using consecutive questions. No score is computed when using this scale. Questionnaire investigates suicide ideation using several questions (response yes/no): 1. Have you wish you were dead? 2. Have you actually had any thought of killing yourself? If 1 and/or 2 are answered "yes", 4 other questions are asked. For this study, suicide ideation will be considered as a "yes" answered to question 1 or 2.
