To date there have been no studies examining complicated grief (CG) in Aboriginal populations. Although this research gap exists, it can be hypothesized that Aboriginal populations may be at increased risk for CG, given a variety of factors, including increased rates of all-cause mortality and death by suicide. Aboriginal people also have a past history of multiple stressors resulting from the effects of colonization and forced assimilation, a significant example being residential school placement. This loss of culture and high rates of traumatic events may place Aboriginal individuals at increased risk for suicide, as well as CG resulting from traumatic loss and suicide bereavement. Studies are needed to examine CG in Aboriginal populations. These studies must include cooperation with Aboriginal communities to help identify risk factors for CG, understand the role of culture among these communities, and identify interventions to reduce poor health outcomes such as suicidal behavior.
迄今为止，尚未有研究对原住民群体中的复杂性悲伤（CG）进行考察。尽管存在这一研究空白，但可以推测，鉴于多种因素，包括全因死亡率和自杀死亡率上升，原住民群体患复杂性悲伤的风险可能更高。原住民过去也曾经历过殖民和强迫同化影响带来的多重压力源，一个显著的例子就是被安置到寄宿学校。这种文化的丧失和高创伤事件发生率可能使原住民个体自杀风险增加，以及因创伤性损失和自杀丧亲之痛导致复杂性悲伤的风险增加。有必要开展研究来考察原住民群体中的复杂性悲伤。这些研究必须包括与原住民社区合作，以帮助识别复杂性悲伤的风险因素，理解文化在这些社区中的作用，并确定减少自杀行为等不良健康后果的干预措施。
