Abstract

This study examined the circumstances preceding suicide among Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) and White American decedents using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System in the United States. After controlling for gender and age, APIAs had lower rates of recent disclosure of suicide ideation, recent mental health treatment, recent mental health problems, and intimate partner problems, but higher rates of school problems than White Americans. There were also significant race by age moderation effects for recent mental health, financial, and school problems and a significant race by gender moderation effect for intimate partner problems.
