虽然杀人是15-24岁非洲裔美国人的主要死因，但自杀正在默默地夺走许多非洲裔美国青年的生命，特别是男性。鉴于在许多主要的人类服务机构中，非洲裔美国青少年的数量不成比例，重要的是要增加社会工作者对这一人群自我毁灭行为的性质和趋势的理解。本文介绍了非裔美国青少年自杀完成和自杀行为的描述性流行病学趋势数据，回顾了目前的解释性假设，强调了重要的风险和保护因素，并概述了几个文化一致的实践指导方针与自杀的非裔美国青少年。
Although homicide is the leading cause of death for African-Americans aged 15–24, suicide is silently claiming the lives of many African-American youth, males in particular. Given the disproportionate number of African-American adolescents in many of the primary human service institutions, it is important to increase social workers’ understanding of the nature and trends in self-destructive behaviors of this population. This paper presents the descriptive epidemiological trend data on African-American adolescent suicide completion and parasuicidal behavior, reviews current explanatory hypotheses, highlights important risk and protective factors, and outlines several culturally-congruent practice guidelines for working with suicidal African-Americans adolescents.
