Suicide is a public health problem and one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Research exploring the linkages between religion and spirituality has received intermittent attention. Data was derived from the Nashville Stress and Health Study (2011-2014), a cross-sectional probability survey of black and white adults from Davidson County, Tennessee (n = 1252). Results indicate that those with no perceived belief in divine control had a higher likelihood of suicidality. This study provides a fresh perspective on the links between religious factors and suicidality by (a) considering multiple religious and spiritual domains and (b) focusing on the association between irreligion and suicidality.
自杀是一个公共卫生问题，也是美国的主要死因之一。探索宗教和灵性之间联系的研究一直受到关注。本研究的数据来自纳什维尔压力与健康研究（2011-2014），这是一项对田纳西州戴维森县黑人和白人成年人的横断面概率调查（n=1252）。结果表明，那些认为自己没有受到神的控制的人更有可能有自杀倾向。本研究通过（a）考虑多个宗教和精神领域以及（b）关注无宗教信仰与自杀倾向之间的关联，为宗教因素与自杀倾向之间的联系提供了新的视角。
