Excerpt
Suicide rates among some racial and ethnic minority groups have steadily increased over the past two decades (Stone et al. 2018). For example, the suicide rate among Native American and Alaskan Native groups has recently surpassed that of non-Hispanic whites by at least 50% (Suicide Prevention Resource Center 2013). East Asian American women have the highest suicide rates among all American women over the age of 65 years (Li et al. 2018), and the rate of suicide among African American children younger than 13 years of age is twice that of white children of the same age group (Bridge et al. 2018). Overall, trends point to an increasing suicide rate in ethnic minority populations.
