BACKGROUND
Previous research into religious service attendance as a protective factor against suicide has been conducted only retrospectively, with psychological autopsy studies using proxy informants of completed suicide, rather than prospectively, with completed suicide as a dependent variable.
AIMS
To determine whether individuals who frequently attended religious services were less likely to die by suicide than those who did not attend so frequently.
METHOD
We analysed data from a nationally representative sample (n = 20 014), collected in the USA between 1988 and 1994, and follow-up mortality data from baseline to the end of 2006.
RESULTS
Cox proportional hazard regression analysis indicated that those who frequently attended religious services were less likely to die by suicide than those who did not attend, after accounting for the effects of other relevant risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS
Frequent religious service attendance is a long-term protective factor against suicide.
背景
之前关于宗教服务出席作为自杀预防因素的研究都是回顾性的，采用心理尸检研究，使用自杀完成者的代理信息源，而不是前瞻性的，以自杀完成为因变量。
目的
确定与不常参加宗教服务的人相比，经常参加宗教服务的人自杀死亡的可能性是否更小。
方法
我们分析了 1988 年至 1994 年期间在美国收集的一项全国代表性样本（n=20014）的数据，以及从基线到 2006 年底的随访死亡率数据。
结果
Cox 比例风险回归分析表明，在考虑了其他相关风险因素的影响后，经常参加宗教服务的人自杀死亡的可能性小于不参加的人。
结论
经常参加宗教服务是长期预防自杀的保护因素。
