虽然在过去的二三十年里，对非白人群体自杀的社会学研究变得越来越普遍，但黑人女性的自杀率相当低，因此没有得到广泛的研究。虽然研究人员已经开始确定影响黑人女性自杀率的社会因素，但本研究扩展了Nisbet（1996年）关于单身母亲与黑人女性自杀率之间关系的研究。具体而言，假设黑人女性中的单身母亲是负相关的黑人女性自杀率进行测试。结果表明，黑人女性中的单身母亲与黑人女性中较低的自杀率有关。这一现象的社会学解释提供。
Although sociological studies of suicide among non-White groups have become more common over the past two to three decades, Black females have not been widely studied since they have fairly low rates of suicide. Although researchers have begun identifying social factors that impact Black female suicide rates, the present study extends the research done by Nisbet (1996) regarding how being a single mother is related to Black female suicide rates. Specifically, the hypothesis that single motherhood among Black females is inversely related to Black female suicide rates is tested. Results suggest that single motherhood among Black females is related to lower rates of suicide among Black females. A sociological explanation for this phenomenon is offered.
