Abstract

Objectives: Death by suicide is on the rise at an alarming rate for Black girls and women in the United States (Curtin & Hedegaard, 2019; Curtin et al., 2016). Despite the rise in suicide risk among this population, there is sparse research on the risk and protective factors for suicidality in Black women, and as a result, the population continues to remain underrepresented in the literature. The present study examined gendered racial microaggressions as a risk factor for suicide and investigated hope as a probable protective factor that may mitigate the impact of gendered racial microaggressions on suicide ideation in Black women.

Method: Participants (N = 270) who identified as African American/Black women were recruited for the study.

Results: A moderation analysis indicated a significant moderation effect of hope on the relationship between gendered racial microaggressions and suicide ideation.

Conclusions: The present study contributes to the advancement of suicide research by examining suicide risk in the context of Black women's unique experiences. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
