Abstract
This paper addresses the question of what the relationship between intersectionality and suicide is on five different social identity levels. The five different social identity levels are gender, race, age, marital status, and education level. As the current studies on intersectionality and suicide are anarchic and unorganized, this paper aims to make a foundation for future intersectionality suicide research. The dataset retrieved for this paper is from the paper Daly, Wilson, and Johnson (2013) which looks into the suicide rate from the year 1990 in the United States of America. The variables from this dataset are first transformed into intersections and are afterwards used in a logistic regression. The results from this are that white males are the most at risk along with having only some high school education across all social identities. For males suicide odds peaked around 45 – 54 and for females at 45 – 54. Between the races black people had the highest odds around the age 25 – 34, while white people had the highest odds at age 35 – 44. For the ages 20 – 44 the highest suicide odds were for widows, while for age the age 45 – 54 it was single people and for the age 55 – 64 it was divorced people. The suicide odds were the highest for widowed males and for divorced females. Future research into different intersections is recommended as to broaden the current research.
