Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college-aged students1 and a growing concern on college campuses. Disparities in self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are present among Black and Latinx college students. Rates of suicide ideation among Black and Latinx students are as high as 44.7% and 37%, respectively,2 and recent data indicate that Black and Latinx youth have the greatest increase in deaths by suicide. Most research to date that has examined key predictors/risk factors of SITBs has largely focused on individual and family level factors and has largely neglected the examination of social/community level factors like racial discrimination. This is a critical gap given that some of the most fundamental causes of adverse outcomes, including suicide, in racial/ethnic minority  groups, are related to factors in their environment, including experiencing systemic racism and discrimination. Studies have also highlighted that the racial climate on college campuses has  disproportionately affected students of color, in fact 81% of Black and 67% of Latinx students have reported experiencing racial discrimination.3 To date, however, the relationship between racial discrimination (and related factors like daily microaggressions and racial trauma) and SITBs have not been examined among Black and Latinx college students. The current sociopolitical climate creates a  unique and timely opportunity for the examination of perceived discrimination and SITBs among Black and Latinx college students. The current mixed-method study will examine the link between perceived racial discrimination and SITBs among Black and Latinx college students, and will examine key protective processes as moderators.
