Methods Participants Data from the Korean Welfare Panel Study (KoWePS: Korea Institute for Health & Social Affairs & Seoul National University Social Welfare Research Center, 2008) from 2011 to 2013, were obtained for this study. The KoWePS is an ongoing longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of Korean households that collects data annually. The KoWePS-led survey population represents 90% of the census conducted in 2005. Statisticians of this survey determined final panel households by applying a ��Stratified Double Sampling�� model. The constituent questionnaires in this survey consisted of a household member survey for household members aged 15?years and over, a household survey and a supplementary survey for special topics. Face-to-face interviews were used to gain information during the first year of the study. This study respected the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki for ethical medical research. Since this study used secondary data from the Korea Institute for Health and Social Welfare, we did not need to obtain individual informed consent. All patient records/information in this study were anonymised and de-identified prior to analysis. In addition, we were granted the approval of the institutional review board at the graduate school of public health in Yonsei University (Institutional Review Board approval number 2-1040939-AB-N-01-2015-202). We especially focused on the suicidal ideation of household heads, who are defined as the primary Telomerase income earners and practical representatives of the household. The study suggests that the most vulnerable family member to an economic crisis might be a primary income earner. Hence, primary income earners were selected for the questionnaire. The total number of analysed samples was 4247 of 5717 households from the database. In Korea, there were a total 17?339?422 households enrolled in a governmental system in 2010. We only included households that had never experienced EHE before 2011, and never missed any annual surveys during the study period. Covariates of individual and household characteristics In this study, we used several covariates to control for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of individual levels. Demographic characteristics such as sex, age, educational level, marital status, perceived heath status, regular medication more than 3?months and depressive mood status were included. Since the official age of retirement in Korea is 65?years, we divided the age groups into one group under 65?years, and another at 65?years and over. Four education categories including degree from elementary, middle, high school, and college and above, were self-reported by participants.
