Source: National Library of Medicine

Resource Type: Documents and Publications

Focus Population: Immigrant and Migrant Populations, People experiencing Suicidal Urges

Topics: Crisis Response System, Suicide Postvention, Suicide Prevention, Trauma-informed

The association between duration of US residence and suicidality and psychopathology is higher for Latino immigrants than for other racial ethnic groups. While this study focused on characteristics of the individuals themselves, it is also possible that conditions in the host country favor certain ethnic/racial groups over others.
