Youth Suicide Trends in California: An Examination of Immigrant and Ethnic Group Risk.
Sorenson, Susan B.; Shen, Haikang
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v26 n2 p143-54 Sum 1996
Reviewed 32,928 death certificates (1970 to 1992) and found that foreign-born persons are consistently underrepresented in the suicide deaths of 15- to 34-year olds. Although Hispanics born outside the United States are consistently at significantly lower risk of suicide than U.S.-born Hispanics, the discrepancy between the two groups has diminished over time.
