Abstract

Relatively little is known about the role of protective factors in an Arab population in the presence of suicidal risk factors. To examine the role of protective factors in a subsample of in large Arab Kindred participants in the presence of suicidal risk factors.

We also used the Religiosity Questionnaire and suicide attitude (SUIATT) and multidimensional perceived support scale. Suicidal as opposed to nonsuicidal participants were more likely to have a lifetime history of major depressive disorder (MDD) (68.8% vs. 22.9% χ2=11.17, p=.001), an anxiety disorder (87.5% vs. 22.9, χ2=21.02, p<.001), or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (25% vs. 0.0%, Fisher's, p=.003). Individuals who are otherwise at high risk for suicidality have a much lower risk when they experience higher perceived social support (3.31±1.36 vs. 4.96±1.40, t=4.10, df=62, p<.001), and...Continue Reading
