Abstract
Depression is an established risk-factor for suicide (World Health Organization, 2015). Religion and spirituality (R/S) have been protective against depression and suicide in adults (Koenig, 2001). The impact of R/S on depression and suicidality in children has, however, been less well studied and has yielded mixed results (Dew, 2008). In particular, little work has been done on children at high familial risk for depression and the potential impact of R/S on suicidality in at-risk children. The purpose of this study was to test the potential moderating effects of R/S on suicidality in children at risk for depression.
