abstract="In a cohort of 82,898 participants from 60 countries, this study examined attitudes towards suicide among five religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and  other non-specific religions), while simultaneously considering two different  dimensions of religiosity: subjective religiosity and religious practices. At the  national level, religiosity was an important negative predictor variable for suicide  rates and an important positive predictor variable for negative attitudes towards  suicide. At the individual level, however, attitudes towards suicide were found to  vary significantly across the different religions. The findings emphasize the  importance of considering religion perspectives and religiosity, along with its  practices and subjective dimensions, in prevention and attention programmes to  suicidal behaviour.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
