본 연구는 고등학생들의 우울수준과 자살에 대한 인식도 및 태도와의 관련성을 파악하기 위하여 우리나라 중부권에 소재한 K시의 도시지역 학생 1,114명, 농촌지역 학생 968명, 합계 2,082명을 대상으로 2009년 7월 1일부터 7월 31일까지 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 이용하여 설문조사하였다. 연구결과 우울수준이 중증일수록 자살에 대한 인식도 및 태도수준은 유의하게 높았다. 자살태도는 자살인식도, 우울수준과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 자살인식도는 우울수준과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석결과 우울수준에 영향을 미치는 관련요인으로 성별, 전공계열, 학교성적, 학교생활만족도, 교우관계, 이성친구결별, 기초생활수급, 주관적 건강, 흡연, 가정경제상태, 부모언쟁, 자살태도에서 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 가정생활상태를 나타내는 변수들이 우울수준과 높은 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
