Cheng, Sheung-Tak; Chan, Alfred C. M. – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2007
Two theoretical models were constructed to illustrate how stressful events, family and friends support, depression, substance use, and death attitude mutually influence to create cumulative risks for suicide. The models were evaluated using structural equation modeling. Results showed that suicidality was strongly predicted by death attitude,…
