“…First, we would like to emphasize the included datasets were of white individuals of primarily European ancestry, and therefore it is important to note that these results may not generalize to other ethnic and racial populations. For example, Bridge et al 94 found strong evidence for a racial disparity in childhood suicide rates with black children two-times more likely to commit suicide than white children. It was also recently shown that EA protected non-Hispanic Whites, but not non-Hispanic Blacks against future suicide attempts and deaths 95 .…”

“…Suicide patterns are also changing with groups historically at lower risk now at increased risk-the suicide rate for females 10-14 years old tripled from 1999 (0.5/100,000) to 2014 (1.5/100,000), narrowing the gap between male and female rates of suicide (Ruch et al, 2019). The suicide rate among black boys and girls younger than 13 years was approximately 2 times higher than white children from 2001-2015 (Bridge et al, 2018). In addition to mortality, indicators of suicide morbidity are following a similar trend with the proportion of Emergency Department (ED) and inpatient visits for suicidal ideation and attempts nationally nearly doubling between 2008 (0.66%) and 2015 (1.82%) among youth 5-17 years old (Dueweke, Marin, Sparkman, & Bridges, 2018).…”

“…Suicide risk in racial/ethnic minority populations is most pronounced among youth, as suicide deaths among Black and Latino/a adolescents have increased in the U.S. over the past two decades (Khan et al 2018). Further, Black children ages 5-12 are about twice as likely to die by suicide than their White peers (Bridge et al 2018). In fact, the age of highest risk for suicide deaths among racial/ethnic minority populations is under age 30, whereas middle-aged adults (i.e., ages 40s-50s) account for the highest proportion of suicide deaths among White populations (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2019).…”
