520 |a Emerging evidence suggests that suicidal cognition and behavior has increased among homebound older adults over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although prior studies have documented the protective role that church attendance and religious coping may play in mitigating suicide risk, it is unclear how these process may operate in the current context given the need to move many religious to an online or socially-distanced format. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which church attendance and positive religious coping predict suicide risk after controlling for the known risk factors of gender and symptoms of depression. In a sample of 310 homebound, older adults, we ran a series of stepwise, binary logistic regressions. In general, increased symptoms of depression and identifying as male made individuals more likely to fall into the high suicide risk category. Furthermore, positive religious coping, but not church attendance, improved the ability of our models to correctly classify individuals who were at low risk versus high risk for suicide. The more positive religious coping individuals used, the less likely they were to fall into the high suicide risk category.
