What can we do to prevent these deaths? In this presentation, Dr. Black adolescents are significantly less likely to receive care for depression with pervasive structural inequities, social determinants of health, stigma and mistrust of the healthcare system creating daunting barriers to treatment. Sadly, the suicide death rate among Black youth has been found to be increasing faster than any other racial or ethic group. For Blacks, stigma regarding mental health challenges and a common belief that Blacks don't die by suicide add complexity to the challenge of saving lives.
