ABSTRACT
Given that researchers have found increased risk for suicidality and other psychiatric problems among acculturated individuals, we predicted similar results for African-descended people living in the U.S. We surveyed a community sample of 423 adult men and women of African descent to determine acculturation's relationship to Black suicide. Participants completed the African American Acculturation Scale, the Multi-Dimensional Support Scale, and a subscale of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Suicidal ideation and history of suicide attempt were defined as a "yes" response to the questions, "have you ever considered taking your own life?" and "have you ever attempted to take your own life?" We found that religious well-being (not acculturation) was predictive of both suicidal ideation and history of suicide attempt.
