We review the published literature on the relationship between race and ethnicity and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among students enrolled at institutions of higher education in the United States.
College students with certain racial and ethnic identities have a higher prevalence of past-year suicidal ideation (Asian, Black or African American, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) and past-year suicide attempts (Asian, Black or African American, multiracial, and Hispanic) than White students. There is a lack of evidence about racial and ethnic differences in suicide deaths. More research is needed to understand factors that contribute to the racial and ethnic disparities in suicidal thoughts and behaviors among college students. Identifying modifiable risk factors that may be specific to college students will ultimately reduce suicide deaths and guide the development of more effective suicide prevention programs across diverse racial and ethnic groups of students.
我们回顾了已发表的关于美国高等教育机构学生的种族和民族与自杀意念和行为之间关系的文献。
某些种族和民族身份的大学生过去一年有自杀意念的发生率更高（亚裔、非裔美国人、多种族和夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民），过去一年自杀企图的发生率更高（亚裔、非裔美国人、多种族和西班牙裔）比白人学生。关于自杀死亡的种族和民族差异的证据不足。需要更多的研究来了解导致大学生自杀意念和行为中种族和民族差异的因素。确定可能特定于大学生的可改变的风险因素将最终减少自杀死亡，并指导针对不同种族和民族群体的学生制定更有效的自杀预防计划。
