The Effect of Marital Integration on African American Suicide.
Stack, Steven
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v26 n4 p405-14 Win 1996
Analysis of nationwide data on 2,099 African American suicides and 1,729 African American natural deaths indicates that being divorced or widowed significantly raises the odds of death by suicide, but being single does not. A parallel analysis for whites finds greater support for a link between marital status and suicide. (RJM)
