Abstract

Alcohol use was correlated with depression and suicidal behavior in two independent studies of schizophrenic outpatients. Depression alone accounted for over 80% of the explained variance in suicidal behavior in both studies; alcohol use alone and the correlation between depression and alcohol use accounted for only small amounts of variance.
