This study investigated the role of gender, family cohesion, religiosity, and negative suicide attitudes as potential determinants of cultural differences in suicide ideation among 375 college students from Ghana and the United States. Significant cultural differences were found for suicide ideation, family closeness, religiosity, and negative suicide attitudes. More extensive research on sociocultural influences on suicide is encouraged. (Contains 26 references and 2 tables.) (Author/JBJ)
