Abstract

Purpose of Review

We review the published literature on the relationship between race and ethnicity and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among students enrolled at institutions of higher education in the United States.

Recent Findings

College students with certain racial and ethnic identities have a higher prevalence of past-year suicidal ideation (Asian, Black or African American, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) and past-year suicide attempts (Asian, Black or African American, multiracial, and Hispanic) than White students. There is a lack of evidence about racial and ethnic differences in suicide deaths.

Summary

More research is needed to understand factors that contribute to the racial and ethnic disparities in suicidal thoughts and behaviors among college students. Identifying modifiable risk factors that may be specific to college students will ultimately reduce suicide deaths and guide the development of more effective suicide prevention programs across diverse racial and ethnic groups of students.

美国高等教育机构学生中的种族、民族与自杀想法和行为之间的关系

最近的研究结果与白人学生相比，具有特定种族和民族身份的大学生（亚裔、黑人或非洲裔美国人、多种族和夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民）在过去一年中自杀意念和过去一年中自杀未遂的发生率更高（亚裔、黑人或非洲裔美国人、多种族和西班牙裔）。总结：要了解造成大学生自杀想法和行为的种族和民族差异的因素，还需要进行更多的研究。找出大学生特有的可改变的风险因素，最终将减少自杀死亡人数，并指导不同种族和民族学生制定更有效的自杀预防计划。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
