In the United States, suicide risk for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) is most concentrated before age 30, which contrasts with non-Hispanic White groups, for whom the highest risk period is during ages 50–65. The need for a better understanding of the underlying causes of suicidal behavior among BIPOC youth is critical. Cultural considerations were recommended over a decade ago to advance the study of youth suicide prevention and research. Without addressing the barriers to implementing these recommendations in limited-resourced settings, however, the mental health needs of BIPOC youth at risk for suicide will continue to go unmet. In this commentary, we outline structural barriers in research that perpetuate a cycle of exclusion wherein an understudied, though timely, research area faces undue burdens across the research cycle, which impedes the study of suicide risk among BIPOC youth.

阻碍少数民族青年自杀研究的排斥循环

在美国，黑人、原住民和有色人种 (BIPOC) 的自杀风险最集中在 30 岁之前，这与非西班牙裔白人群体形成鲜明对比，后者的最高风险期是 50-65 岁。迫切需要更好地了解 BIPOC 青少年自杀行为的根本原因。十多年前就建议考虑文化因素以推进青少年自杀预防和研究。然而，如果不解决在资源有限的环境中实施这些建议的障碍，有自杀风险的 BIPOC 青少年的心理健康需求将继续得不到满足。在这篇评论中，我们概述了研究中的结构性障碍，这些障碍使排斥循环长期存在，其中一个虽然及时但研究不足的研究领域在整个研究周期中面临着过度的负担，这阻碍了 BIPOC 青少年自杀风险的研究。
