abstract="<p>This article explores the influence of marriage and family factors, including religiosity, on suicide beliefs or ideology using a national sample of African Americans (n = 1,197). Being married lowers pro-suicide ideology; however, having children does not. Institutional ties to religion are found to be considerably more important than marital ties in lowering pro-suicide ideology among African Americans. The model is replicated for Whites. Collective institutions tend to lower pro-suicide ideology less for African Americans than for Whites. The full model explains twice as much variation in suicide ideology among Whites as among African Americans.</p><p />",
