Abstract:
This study investigated the relationships between rape victimization and suicidality among Black adolescent girls. Data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey was used, with a sample of 1,029 Black girls aged 14 to 18. Using multivariate logistic regression, the results indicated that Black girls who experienced rape were 2.52 times more likely to have a suicide plan and 3.94 times more likely to have attempted suicide compared to Black girls who were not raped. These findings highlight the urgent need to prioritize prevention and intervention efforts to support the needs of Black girls in schools.
