The significance of youth suicide as a public health concern is underscored by the fact that it is the second-leading cause of death for youth globally. While suicide rates for White groups have declined, there has been a precipitous rise in suicide deaths and suicide-related phenomena in Black youth; rates remain high among Native American/Indigenous youth. Despite these alarming trends, there are very few culturally tailored suicide risk assessment measures or procedures for youth from communities of color. This article attempts to address this gap in the literature by examining the cultural relevancy of currently widely used suicide risk assessment instruments, research on suicide risk factors, and approaches to risk assessment for youth from communities of color. It also notes that researchers and clinicians should consider other, nontraditional but important factors in suicide risk assessment, including stigma, acculturation, and racial socialization, as well as environmental factors like health care infrastructure and exposure to racism and community violence. The article concludes with recommendations for factors that should be considered in suicide risk assessment for youth from communities of color.

对有色人种青少年自杀想法和行为的文化响应评估。

青少年自杀是全球青少年第二大死亡原因，这一事实凸显了青少年自杀作为公共卫生问题的重要性。虽然白人群体的自杀率有所下降，但黑人青年的自杀死亡人数和自杀相关现象却急剧上升；美洲原住民/土著青年的比率仍然很高。尽管存在这些令人担忧的趋势，但针对有色人种社区青年的文化定制自杀风险评估措施或程序却很少。本文试图通过研究目前广泛使用的自杀风险评估工具的文化相关性、自杀风险因素的研究以及有色人种社区青少年的风险评估方法来弥补文献中的这一空白。它还指出，研究人员和临床医生在自杀风险评估中应考虑其他非传统但重要的因素，包括耻辱、文化适应和种族社会化，以及环境因素，如医疗保健基础设施和接触种族主义和社区暴力。文章最后提出了在有色人种社区青少年自杀风险评估中应考虑的因素的建议。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
