Members of racial/ethnic minority groups have a lower lifetime prevalence than have Whites of mental disorders, a risk factor for suicide attempts; paradoxically, however, lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) ethnic minority youths may be at increased risk for suicide attempts relative to White LGB youths. We found that the increased risk of suicide attempts among racial/ethnic minority LGB respondents in our sample relative to White respondents was not explained by excess youth onset of depression and substance abuse or by a higher susceptibility to suicide in the racial/ethnic minority LGB group.
少数族裔群体成员的终身精神障碍患病率低于白人，而精神障碍是自杀未遂的一个风险因素；然而，具有讽刺意味的是，与白人同性恋、双性恋和双性恋青年相比，少数族裔男女同性恋、双性恋和双性恋青年可能面临更高的自杀未遂风险。我们发现，我们样本中少数族裔男女同性恋、双性恋和双性恋受访者相对于白人受访者自杀未遂风险增加的原因，不能用青少年期抑郁和药物滥用发病较多或少数族裔男女同性恋、双性恋和双性恋群体对自杀的敏感性较高来解释。
