Model 1: Religion Predicting Suicidality and Depression. For LGBQ individuals, when religion was the only predictor, Latter-day Saints were significantly lower in suicide ideation and attempts than those of “Other” religions and those of no religion. Latter-day Saints were also significantly lower in suicide attempts than Catholics. For depression, Latter-day Saints were significantly lower than all other religions. For LGBQ individuals in this first model, rates of ideation were as follows: Latter-day Saint: 28%; Catholic: 37%; Protestant: 46%; “Other”: 50%; None: 49%. Rates of attempts for LGBQ individuals were as follows: Latter-day Saint: 10%; Catholic: 26%; Protestant: 25%; “Other”: 30%; None: 23%.
