Research from the United Kingdom has suggested differential risk factors for suicide among South Asians when compared with the general population. Studies in the United Kingdom have found higher risk related to gender, marital status, and religion. It has been unknown how such demographic variables, acculturative stress, and lower rates of help-seeking influence rates of suicide among South Asians in the United States. In this study, a community sample of South Asians in the United States (n = 524) were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and validated measures for levels of acculturation, help-seeking, and beliefs about reasons for living via web-based survey. South Asians’ scores on the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) were significantly higher than the normative population across all subscales except the Survival and Coping Beliefs subscales. Demographic variables significantly related to RFL scores included gender (men with higher RFL scores), age (younger individuals with lower RFL scores), country of origin (those from India with lower RFL scores), education level (lower RFL scores in those with higher education levels), and income (those with lower incomes having lower RFL scores). Help-seeking attitudes were also significantly related to RFL scores. As a whole, the findings are consistent with U.K.-based studies and provide valuable comparative data on a U.S.-based sample.

南亚人和自杀:美国社区样本中关于自杀的信念。

英国的研究表明,与一般人群相比,南亚人的自杀风险因素存在差异。英国的研究发现与性别、婚姻状况和宗教相关的风险更高。尚不清楚这些人口统计变量、文化压力和较低的求助率如何影响美国南亚人的自杀率。在这项研究中,美国南亚人的社区样本(n = 524)被要求完成人口调查问卷,并通过基于网络的调查对文化程度、寻求帮助和对生活原因的信念进行验证。除了生存和应对信念分量表外,南亚人在生活清单 (RFL) 的原因上的得分显着高于所有分量表的正常人群。与 RFL 分数显着相关的人口统计学变量包括性别(RFL 分数较高的男性)、年龄(RFL 分数较低的年轻人)、原籍国(来自印度的 RFL 分数较低的人)、教育水平(RFL 分数较高的人的 RFL 分数较低)教育水平)和收入(收入较低的人的 RFL 分数较低)。求助态度也与 RFL 分数显着相关。总的来说,这些发现与英国的研究一致,并提供了美国样本的有价值的比较数据。年龄(RFL 分数较低的年轻人)、原籍国(来自印度的 RFL 分数较低的人)、教育水平(受教育程度较高的人的 RFL 分数较低)和收入(收入较低的人的 RFL 分数较低)。求助态度也与 RFL 分数显着相关。总的来说,这些发现与英国的研究一致,并提供了美国样本的有价值的比较数据。年龄(RFL 分数较低的年轻人)、原籍国(来自印度的 RFL 分数较低的人)、教育水平(受教育程度较高的人的 RFL 分数较低)和收入(收入较低的人的 RFL 分数较低)。求助态度也与 RFL 分数显着相关。总的来说,研究结果与英国的研究一致,并提供了美国样本的有价值的比较数据。
