To measure differences in suicide rates across race/ethnicity, age, and sex groups in Chicago, Illinois, from 2015 to 2021. We calculated the incidence rate and annual percentage change in suicides among Asian, Black, Latino/a, and White persons in Chicago. We also analyzed patterns in suicide method across race/ethnicity, age, and sex groups. Suicides increased significantly among Black males (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01, 1.20), Black females (IRR = 1.18; 95% CI = 1.04, 1.33), and Latino males (IRR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.11, 1.38) between 2015 and 2021. Suicides decreased overall among White Chicagoans during this period. A significantly greater proportion of Black males than Black females died by suicide using a firearm (55.79% vs 24.05%; < .001). Similar results were detected for Latino males and females (32.99% vs 9.09%; = .001) and White males and females (30.10% vs 11.73%; < .001). Black persons in Chicago were the only group to experience significant increases in suicide among both males and females from 2015 to 2021, although specific methods used varied by race/ethnicity and sex group.

为了衡量 2015 年至 2021 年期间伊利诺伊州芝加哥市不同种族/族裔、年龄和性别群体的自杀率差异,我们计算了芝加哥市亚洲人、黑种人、拉丁裔/人和白种人自杀的发生率和年变化百分比。我们还分析了不同种族/族裔、年龄和性别群体的自杀方式模式。2015 年至 2021 年间,黑种男性(发病率比 [IRR] = 1.10;95%置信区间 [CI] = 1.01, 1.20)、黑种女性(IRR = 1.18;95% CI = 1.04, 1.33)和拉丁裔男性(IRR = 1.23;95% CI = 1.11, 1.38)的自杀率显著增加。在此期间,白人芝加哥人的自杀率总体下降。与黑种女性(55.79% 对 24.05%;< 0.001)相比,黑种男性中死于自杀的比例显著更高,他们使用枪支自杀的比例更高。拉丁裔男性和女性(32.99% 对 9.09%;= 0.001)和白种男性和女性(30.10% 对 11.73%;< 0.001)也出现了类似的结果。2015 年至 2021 年,只有芝加哥的黑种人在男性和女性中自杀率都显著增加,尽管不同种族/族裔和性别群体使用的具体方法不同。(2024 年;114(3):319-328。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307511)。
