Zusammenfassung:Research was reviewed on whether self-report measures of religiosity were a protective factor against suicidal behaviors. It was found that scores on Francis's measure of religiosity was negatively associated with non-lethal suicidal behavior (ideation and attempts), a protective effect.

Research is needed on the issue whether counselors can use their patients' religiosity to reduce the risk of dying by suicide.
