Suicide is a leading cause of death among Black emerging adults. The concurrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial discrimination were projected to exacerbate suicide vulnerability for Black Americans. The purpose of the present study was to utilize a risk-resilience model to examine the effects of racial discrimination and COVID-related stress on suicide risk for Black emerging adults, as well as the moderating effect of three central components of radical healing: critical consciousness, resilience, and cultural authenticity. Study participants included 521 Black emerging adults between the ages of 18 and 29 (51.6% male; Mage = 24.6, SD = 2.6) who completed measures evaluating symptoms of racial discrimination, COVID-related stress, suicide risk, and psychological well-being. After controlling for age, gender, socioeconomic status, and general stress, structural equation modeling analyses revealed unique and interactive effects of racial discrimination, COVID-related stress, and culturally relevant protective factors on suicide risk for Black emerging adults. These findings provide preliminary insight into novel risk and protective factors that influence suicide risk for Black emerging adults. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

COVID-19 和种族歧视对黑人新兴成年人自杀风险的联合流行效应：检查根治性治愈的模型。


自杀是黑人新兴成年人的主要死因。预计 COVID-19 大流行和种族歧视的并发影响将加剧美国黑人的自杀脆弱性。本研究的目的是利用风险弹性模型来检查种族歧视和 COVID 相关压力对黑人新兴成年人自杀风险的影响，以及根治治疗的三个核心组成部分的调节作用：批判意识、弹性和文化真实性。研究参与者包括 521 名年龄在 18 至 29 岁之间的黑人新兴成年人（51.6% 为男性;Mage = 24.6，SD = 2.6），他们完成了评估种族歧视症状、COVID 相关压力、自杀风险和心理健康的措施。在控制了年龄、性别、社会经济地位和一般压力后，结构方程模型分析揭示了种族歧视、COVID 相关压力和文化相关保护因素对黑人新兴成年人自杀风险的独特和互动影响。这些发现为影响黑人新兴成年人自杀风险的新风险和保护因素提供了初步见解。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
