Abstract
Suicide occurs in a cultural context, but that context, especially in terms of community attitudes, has not been explored fully. This study presents a 100-item questionnaire (the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire; SOQ) and a factor analysis of 285 respondents. The results, 15 factors that accounted for 76.6% of the total variance, underscore the complexities of such attitudes.
