TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Increased Risk of Suicide Attempts Among Black and Latino Lesbians, Gay Men, and Bisexuals JO - American journal of public health A1 - Schwartz, Sharon A1 - Meyer, Ilan A1 - O'Donnell, Shannon SP - 1055 EP - 1059 VL - 101 IS - 6 N2 - Members of racial/ethnic minority groups have a lower lifetime prevalence than have Whites of mental disorders, a risk factor for suicide attempts; paradoxically, however, lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) ethnic minority youths may be at increased risk for suicide attempts relative to White LGB youths. We found that the increased risk of suicide attempts among racial/ethnic minority LGB respondents in our sample relative to White respondents was not explained by excess youth onset of depression and substance abuse or by a higher susceptibility to suicide in the racial/ethnic minority LGB group.
