Black Youth Suicide Crisis: Prevalence Rates, Review of Risk and Protective Factors, and Current Evidence-Based Practices
Overview
This paper reviews the rising prevalence of suicide among Black youth, highlighting recent data indicating higher rates compared to White peers. It summarizes socioecological risk and protective factors, emphasizing structural drivers and cultural context. The authors note that while dialectical behavior therapy is established for general youth populations, its efficacy for Black youths remains unclear due to limited representation in trials, prompting a review of emerging treatments designed specifically for this demographic.
