Persons With Debt Burden Are More Likely to Report Suicide Attempt Than Those Without: A National Study of US Adults

CONCLUSIONS: Debt burden is strongly associated with increased likelihood of suicide attempt. The strength of the identified association is comparable to or greater than that for other major predictors of suicide (eg, sex) and other mortality risk factors (eg, smoking, obesity). Findings highlight debt burden as a strong social determinant of suicide risk and intervention target.PMID:33989465 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.19m13184
