Some factors were associated with a lower risk of suicide ideation in this age group. Those who attended religious services or activities once a week or more (60.4% of sample) were half as likely to have considered suicide (OR=0.5). Even among those who had experienced an episode of depressive symptoms (two or more weeks of feeling sad or hopeless to the point where it interfered with their usual activities) in the previous year (20.8% of the sample), religious involvement was still protective (OR=0.6). Family togetherness was also associated with a protective effect students who ate a meal with their family five or more days in a typical week (61.1% of respondents) were half as likely to consider suicide (OR=0.5). Students who had experienced an episode of depressive symptoms in the past year also benefited from family mealtimes, as they were still less likely to have considered suicide in the past year (OR=0.7).
