Results from a recent gun ownership study show church attendance can save lives.
The study, conducted by sociology professor Augustine J. Kposowa of the University of California, Riverside, examined how suicide risk is linked to gun ownership, politically conservative leanings and church membership.
??In states with a higher percentage of the population that belongs to a church, it is plausible that religious views and doctrine about suicide are well-known through sacred texts, theology or sermons, and adherents may be less likely to commit suicide,? Kposowa told UCR Today.
