Absent Suicidality Exposure
Expressions activating this band contain little to no suicide-related content and are largely unrelated, generic, or focused on other topics. The proxy is not meaningfully present in the expression.
Minimal Suicidality Exposure

Moderate Suicidality Exposure
Expressions activating this band directly reference suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or related severe family adversity such as incarceration and help-seeking around crisis. Suicidality is present as ideation, deliberate self-injury, or closely associated life disruption.
High Suicidality Exposure
Expressions activating this band center on explicit suicide attempts, recurring suicidal thoughts, and the effects of severe crises involving close family members. Suicidality is described as a concrete and consequential experience rather than a passing thought.
Severe Suicidality Exposure
Expressions activating this band focus on suicide attempts within close relationships or family and on the substantial personal impact of those events, often alongside other serious mental health or legal crises.
