Suicide rates among ethnoracially minoritized youth (i.e., youth of color) peak before the age of 30, and striking disparities in access to mental health services have been identified in this age group. However, suicide prevention strategies have yet to fully address structural racism as a mechanism in producing disparities in risk, protective factors, and access to quality effective intervention for youth of color. Such an approach is critical to provide more culturally responsive mental health care. Through an adapted socio-ecological model, the authors propose the Structural Racism and Suicide Prevention Systems Framework and illustrate pathways through which structural racism impacts suicide prevention and intervention for youth of color in the United States. The authors contextualize the impact of structural racism in three key settings where youth suicide prevention occurs: mental health services, schools, and the interface between crisis care and law enforcement. The authors posit that critical attention must be paid to the intersection of mutually reinforcing, interdependent systems rather than to systems in isolation. The authors then propose recommendations to address structural racism in suicide prevention, including macro-level interventions to improve societal conditions, research strategies to inform structural solutions, training approaches to address institutional racism, and clinical approaches to address the impact of racism and racial trauma on youths and families.

种族少数族裔青年的结构性种族主义和自杀预防:跨系统的概念框架和说明

少数族裔青年(即有色人种青年)的自杀率在 30 岁之前达到顶峰,并且已发现该年龄组在获得心理健康服务方面存在显着差异。然而,自杀预防策略尚未完全解决结构性种族主义问题,因为它是在风险、保护因素和有色青年获得优质有效干预方面产生差异的一种机制。这种方法对于提供更具文化响应性的精神卫生保健至关重要。通过适应的社会生态模型,作者提出了结构性种族主义和自杀预防系统框架,并说明了结构性种族主义影响美国有色人种青年自杀预防和干预的途径。作者将结构性种族主义在青少年自杀预防发生的三个关键环境中的影响背景化:心理健康服务、学校以及危机护理和执法之间的接口。作者认为,必须重点关注相互加强、相互依赖的系统的交叉点,而不是孤立的系统。然后,作者提出了解决自杀预防中结构性种族主义的建议,包括改善社会状况的宏观干预措施、为结构性解决方案提供信息的研究策略、解决制度性种族主义的培训方法,以及解决种族主义和种族创伤影响的临床方法。青年和家庭。作者认为,必须重点关注相互加强、相互依赖的系统的交叉点,而不是孤立的系统。然后,作者提出了解决自杀预防中结构性种族主义的建议,包括改善社会状况的宏观干预措施、为结构性解决方案提供信息的研究策略、解决制度性种族主义的培训方法,以及解决种族主义和种族创伤影响的临床方法。青年和家庭。作者认为,必须重点关注相互加强、相互依赖的系统的交叉点,而不是孤立的系统。然后,作者提出了解决自杀预防中结构性种族主义的建议,包括改善社会状况的宏观干预措施、为结构性解决方案提供信息的研究策略、解决制度性种族主义的培训方法,以及解决种族主义和种族创伤影响的临床方法。青年和家庭。
