Empirical clustering to identify individuals for whom insomnia is more closely related to suicidal ideation

Although the effect sizes are modest, insomnia is consistently associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Subgroup analyses can efficiently identify for whom insomnia is most relevant to suicidal ideation. To improve clinical case identification, the present study sought to identify subclusters of lifetime suicidal ideators for whom insomnia was most closely related to current suicidal ideation.
