This study investigated Asian Pacific Islander Americans’ (APIAs) and White Americans’ use of three common suicide methods—firearm, poisoning, and hanging—using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System in the United States. Overall, hanging was the most common suicide method among APIAs, whereas firearm suicides were most prevalent among White Americans. APIA suicide decedents died by firearms and poisoning at lower rates, but by hanging at a higher rate than White Americans, after controlling for the effects of gender and age. Several gender by race moderation effects demonstrated that these racial differences in suicide methods were stronger among women than among men. In parallel with the findings on racial differences, APIA immigrants had a lower rate of firearm suicide but a higher rate of suicide by hanging than their U.S.-born counterparts. A gender by nativity moderation effect showed that among APIA men, immigrant decedents had a greater likelihood of using hanging as a suicide method than U.S.-born decedents, whereas among APIA women, there were no differences between immigrant and U.S.-born decedents in their likelihood of suicide by hanging. The researchers also uncovered several age by race and age by nativity moderation effects. These findings underscore the value of attending to within-group diversity in APIAs’ suicide methods.

亚太岛民美国人和美国白人的自杀方法。

本研究使用来自美国国家暴力死亡报告系统的数据，调查了亚太裔美国人 (APIA) 和美国白人使用三种常见的自杀方法——枪支、中毒和绞刑。总体而言，上吊是 APIA 中最常见的自杀方式，而枪支自杀在美国白人中最为普遍。在控制了性别和年龄的影响后，APIA 自杀死者死于枪支和中毒的比率较低，但比美国白人上吊的比率更高。种族调节效应的几个性别表明，女性在自杀方法上的这些种族差异比男性更大。与种族差异的发现同时，APIA 移民的枪支自杀率较低，但上吊自杀率高于美国移民 -出生的同行。出生性别调节效应表明，在 APIA 男性中，移民死者比在美国出生的死者使用上吊作为自杀方法的可能性更大，而在 APIA 女性中，移民和美国出生的死者的可能性没有差异上吊自杀。研究人员还通过种族和出生调节效应发现了几个年龄。这些发现强调了关注 APIA 自杀方法中群体内多样性的价值。研究人员还通过种族和出生调节效应发现了几个年龄。这些发现强调了关注 APIA 自杀方法中群体内多样性的价值。研究人员还通过种族和出生调节效应发现了几个年龄。这些发现强调了关注 APIA 自杀方法中群体内多样性的价值。
