“…Interpretation of these interaction coefficients is as follows: (a) statistically significant positive interaction coefficients suggesting mental health treatment is greater for comparison race/ethnicity group relative to the reference group; or (b) statistically significant negative coefficients suggest that the probability for the reference group is greater than the comparison group. Similar to previous research (Stoliker & Galli, 2021), we used “White” as our reference category to be then compared against the other three race/ethnicity groups in our study.…”

Research in community settings indicates that Black persons are less likely to receive mental health treatment than White persons. Research on whether these disparities persist in prisons is limited and fails to include other racial and ethnic groups, such as Latino persons. This study examines racial and ethnic differences in the use of mental health services among incarcerated persons. Using the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates, logistic regression assessed the effects of race/ethnicity among those receiving mental health treatment while incarcerated. Results suggest Black and Multiracial/Other incarcerated persons were 15.8% and 15.0% more likely to participate in treatment than White incarcerated persons, respectively. No significant difference between Latino incarcerated persons and White incarcerated persons was found. The differences between racial/ethnic groups and participation in mental health treatment found in this study suggest that more attention needs to be paid to diversity in the accessibility of treatment in prisons.

“…When adjusting for age, between 2019 and 2020, suicide rates decreased 4.5% among non-Hispanic Whites, and increased 4% and 6.2% among non-Hispanic Blacks and American Indians (CDC, 2022). Among incarcerated populations, White individuals were more likely than Black or Hispanic individuals to report suicidal thoughts and attempts throughout the lifespan (Stoliker & Galli, 2021). In addition, suicide ideation is more prevalent among formerly incarcerated females than males (Yu & Sung, 2015), although overall suicide attempts remain significantly higher among males (Freeman et al, 2017).…”

There is limited knowledge regarding precipitating factors associated with suicidality among persons on parole. Pairing the suicide ideation-to-action framework and stress process theory, the present study aimed to characterize sources of major stress (drug use, physical health, and mental health) and their associations to suicide ideation, planning, and attempt among a national sample of persons on parole. This study included a subsample of persons on parole (N = 1725) using pooled national data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2015-2019). A series of logistic regression results indicate that various drug use, physical health, and mental health factors significantly influenced all three suicidality measures. Due to this population's unique experiences and numerous barriers following release from prison, it is essential to personalize interventions geared toward this population to meet their specific needs and address suicidality based on where they fall on this continuum.

“…We know, for instance, that certain "scripts" about gender are associated with some prisons having greater rates of suicide than others (Stoliker and Galli 2021), but we do not know whether certain prisons transform these cultural attitudes into applicable, meaningful forms of knowledge that can be mobilized in one's own decision-making, how they do so, and why these beliefs exist in the first place-for example, are the "smuggled" in or a product of the cultural and historical context in question. Fortunately, suicidology does not need to reinvent the proverbial wheel, as research striving to understand and explain the link between place, culture, and suicidality can draw from the extraordinarily diverse and rigorous methodological approaches that have emerged in the last decade aimed at understanding how, why, and when meanings, beliefs, and attitudes shape action (Mohr et al 2020).…”

A Social Disorganizational Theory of Suicide¹

Over the last 20 years, suicide rates have grown across most demographic groups in the United States, making the sociological study of suicide as imperative now as it was in Durkheim's day. For the most part, however, sociologists study suicide solely using Durkheim's analytic strategy. The following article recovers a text on suicide long since forgotten by sociology. Divided into three parts, the article begins first by revisiting Ruth Cavan's social disorganizational theory of suicide, eventually culminating in a formalization of her theory. Second, the article brings contemporary social scientific ideas to bear on her theory to modify and extend its empirical utility. Third, the article considers the implications this theoretical exercise has for an increasingly vibrant and creative sociology of suicide.
