abstract="OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the association between racial discrimination and suicidality (ideation, plan, or attempt) in African American adolescents and young adults (n = 806, mean age = 17.9 years). <br><br>METHODS: Structured psychiatric phone interviews were conducted in offspring and their mothers in a high-risk alcoholism family study. <br><br>RESULTS: Logistic regression analyses using offspring own racial discrimination as a predictor revealed elevated odds of suicidality, even after adjusting for correlated psychiatric conditions (OR = 1.76) but was reduced to non-significance after adjusting for maternal experiences of racial discrimination (OR = 3.19in males), depression, and problem drinking. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Findings support a link between racial discrimination and suicidality in African American youth that, for males, is partially explained by maternal racial discrimination.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
