Objective: To identify protective and risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviours in the Indigenous community living in Toronto. Database: Our Health Counts Toronto database, the largest urban Indigenous health study of 897 Indigenous adult participants (15+), was analyzed. Methods: Conducted modified logistic regression utilizing R and SAS software across six domains: i) Self and Community Relationship ii) Social Determinants of Health iii) Health / Exercise iv) Family / Social Support v) Substance Use vi) Cultural Identity / Resources Results: Factors associated with higher suicidality include substance use and challenges accessing cultural ceremonies, while protective factors include full-time employment, and education. Conclusion: Socio-demographic factors are associated with risk of suicide. Cultural and structurally relevant factors and interventions may reduce the risk of suicide in the urban Indigenous community. Thesis inuit Metis York University, Toronto: YorkSpace Canada
