TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Understanding Indigenous suicide through a theoretical lens: a review of general, culturally-based, and Indigenous frameworks JO - Transcultural psychiatry A1 - O'Keefe, Victoria M. A1 - Tucker, Raymond P. A1 - Cole, Ashley B. A1 - Hollingsworth, David W. A1 - Wingate, LaRicka R. SP - 775 EP - 799 VL - 55 IS - 6 N2 - Many American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities throughout North America continue to experience the devastating impact of suicide. Theoretical explanations of suicide from a psychological, sociological, cultural, and Indigenous perspective all differ in focus and applicability to AI/AN communities. These diverse theoretical frameworks and models are presented herein to examine the potential applicability, strengths, and limitations in understanding AI/AN suicide. In providing these perspectives, continued discussions and empirical examinations of AI/AN suicide can guide informative, culturally-informed suicide prevention and intervention efforts.
