Study links life purpose to lower suicide risk in college students
A new study co-authored by Muskingum University President Flavius Lilly found that college students who reported a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in life were less likely to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The findings were published Sept. 17 in the peer-reviewed journal Cogent Psychology , according to a community announcement. Researchers analyzed responses from more than 560,000 students nationwide, making it one of the largest studies to examine links between purpose in life and suicide-related outcomes among college students.

The study also found that purpose and meaning remained strongly associated with lower suicide risk even after accounting for depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other demographic and social factors. “One of the most encouraging findings from this research is that purpose and meaning in life
