“…Results of Omary research ( 71 ) suggested that higher education levels might play a protective role against suicidal ideation among men with depression. Our results show an opposite correlation—vocational education is a statistically significant positive factor related with the level of depression in men with diagnosed depression.…”

“…In the study of Griffiths et al ( 88 ) for single and divorced men aged 25 and over, suicide rates were around three times higher than for married men throughout 1983–2004. Results of Omary ( 71 ) suggested that marriage might play a protective role for suicidal ideation among men with depression. Our results present a completely different dimension—bachelor status is a characteristic protective factor for suicidal behavior among men with diagnosed depression.…”

Factors Related to the Level of Depression and Suicidal Behavior Among Men With Diagnosed Depression, Physically Ill Men, and Healthy Men

Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder in people who die by suicide. Awareness of risk factors for suicide in depression is important for clinicians. The study was aimed at establishing models of factors related to the level of depression and suicidal behavior among men from three different groups—in men with depressive disorder, in comparison to men with physical disorder and healthy men. A total of 598 men were included in the study. The following questionnaires were used in research model: test with sociodemographic variables, AUDIT Test, Fagerström Test, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress (Mini-COPE), Resilience Evaluation Questionnaire (KOP-26), Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire—Revised (SBQ-R) by Osman, and Gotland Male Depression Scale. In men with depression, the positive factors strongly related to the intensity of depression and suicidal behavior were as follows: vocational education, active coping, turning toward religion, social competence for resilience, and bachelor status. The factors negatively related to the intensity of depression and suicidal behavior in this group were as follows: unemployed status, student status, low satisfaction with the financial situation, having children, history of mental disorders in family, alcohol addiction, and seeking instrumental support. In the group of men with physical disorders, the following protection factors were identified: the medium or small city as a place of living, active coping, venting, and personal competence. The following risk factors were identified in this group: psychiatric treatment in the past. In the group of healthy men, the following protective factors were identified: the medium city as a place of living, positive reappraisal, planning abilities, and personal and social competence for resilience. In this group, the following risk factors were identified: vocational and higher education, student status, satisfaction with the financial situation, having more than one children, the occurrence of mental disorders in the family, the occurrence of alcohol abuse in the family, and use of psychoactive substances as a strategy of dealing with stress. The risk factors identified in this study should be included in the clinical assessment of depression and suicidal behavior risk in male patients. There are some protective factors identified, including productive coping and personal and social competencies, which can be developed and should be especially considered and strengthened in mental health promotion programs aimed at men.

“…Past studies examined risk factors for SI, SP, and SA among AA males with and without major depressive episodes (MDE), compared to White males. Results have shown that compared to White males, AA males with and without MDE were at risk for SI and SA even after adjusting for covariates 19,20 . However, these earlier findings do not show the within-group risk differences among AA males with and without MDE and raise speculations that unexamined covariates could impact differences in suicide risk between AA males with and without MDE.…”

“…However, results show that the chances for attempting suicide among AA with and without MDE were equal even after controlling for education, age, and income. Scholars who compared the risk for SA among AA and White males with and without MDE found that AA males with and without MDE were at greater risk for suicidal attempts 19,20 . The current study confirmed that the AA male groups with and without MDE differ in their risk of thinking and planning suicide.…”

Objectives. To examine if major depressive episodes can predict risk chances for suicidal ideation, suicide plans, and suicide attempts among African American males while adjusting for covariates of age, education, and income. Methods. Data from the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were extracted and analyzed. We found data for 2,301 adult African American men with and without major depressive episodes, representing a population size of 13,210,069.53 in the United States. Results. African American men with major depressive episodes were at higher risk for suicidal ideation and suicide planning than their counterparts without a major depressive episode. However, the two groups with and without major depressive episodes had equal risk chances for suicide attempts. Conclusions. A closer examination of suicide covariate variables among African American men with and without a major depressive episode furnishes critical distinctions between the two populations. This can facilitate more responsive, tailored suicide prevention strategies for the male African American population, especially among the at-risk male adults in this group with major depressive episodes.

“…Although health determinants can act as a buffer against the increased risk for risky health behaviors among adults with MDE (Catalano et al, 2011;Mirowsky & Ross, 2001;Omary, 2020;Rendall et al, 2011), evidence is lacking on binge alcohol drinking risk among adults with MDE while adjusting for demographic confounders. Identifying sociodemographic populations with MDE who are at increased risk for BAU would allow for the development of focused prevention programs to meet the particular needs of each population.…”

Identifying sociodemographic populations with a major depressive episode (MDE) who are at increased risk for binge alcohol use (BAU) is critical for developing focused prevention programs to meet the particular needs of each population. Thus, the goal of the current exploratory retrospective study is to examine sex, race, age, education, marital status, and income as risk predictors for BAU among adults with MDE; and if the risk for BAU changes after adjusting for demographic confounders. To achieve the study goal, data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s 2018 National Survey for Drug Use and Health were extracted and analyzed. The unweighted sample included 6,999 adults representing a weighted population size of 33,900,452.122 in the US. Results revealed that age and marital status significantly predicted BAU in the past month among adults with MDE. Adults under the age of 50, with a college degree, never married, divorced/separated, and with a high-middle income level or higher were at higher risk for BAU. The study's clinical implications are that understanding demographics of individuals with MDE at increased risk for BAU can inform improved tailored assessment and treatment of alcohol abuse and MDE among at-risk populations. Future research should consider examining additional potential risk factors for BAU among adults with MDE.
