家庭支持系统理论上与自杀风险有关。但迄今为止，还没有研究调查详细的生活安排对个人自杀风险的影响。使用来自全国健康访谈调查关联死亡率文件的825，462名成年人的数据显示，生活在社会支持和融合来源更强的家庭中可以降低自杀风险。尽管对重要的个体水平特征进行了控制，这些影响仍然存在。当有孩子时，已婚和未婚家庭的自杀风险降低，而与无关成年人生活在一起的人的自杀风险增加。这些结果揭示了家庭形成对社会整合力量的结构性重要性，这些力量有助于个人的自杀风险。
Family support systems have been theoretically linked to suicide risk. But no research to date has investigated the effects of detailed living arrangements on individual risk of suicide. Using data on 825,462 adults from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality File reveals that living in families with stronger sources of social support and integration decreases risk of suicide. These effects persist despite controls for important individual level characteristics. Risk of suicide decreases for persons in married as well as unmarried families when children are present and risk increases for persons living with unrelated adults. These results reveal the structural importance of family formation on the social integrative forces that contribute to an individual's risk of suicide.
