Social integration, such as being married, attending religious services, and having a large network of friends protects men against suicide, according to a study being published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Suicide is one of the top 10 leading causes of death among men in the United States. Prevention efforts usually emphasize the study of psychiatric, psychological, or biological determinants. However, research has shown that a substantial proportion of suicidal behaviors occur in the absence of a formally diagnosed mental disorder, suggesting that a deeper understanding of factors driving suicide is needed.
