摘要

Objective

Suicidal behaviors among young Black sexual gender minority males ages 14–24 is a pressing issue that requires urgent attention. This study aims to fill a significant gap in the literature by investigating how internal assets impact suicidal behaviors among young Black sexual minority men (SMM) ages 14–24.

Methods

This study utilized a cross-sectional survey of young Black SMM (N = 538) from December 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024, to examine the influence of internal assets (such as positive values, positive identity) on suicidal behaviors. A logistic regression was performed to examine the associations between internal assets and suicidal behaviors.

Results

Our findings indicated that positive identity was associated with lower levels of suicidal behaviors (β = − 0.29; p < 0.001). Positive values (β = − 0.24; p < 0.001) and social competencies (β = − 0.29; p < 0.001) were also associated with fewer suicidal behaviors.

Conclusions

Our results indicate that internal assets play a significant role in influencing suicidal behaviors among young Black sexual gender minority males. By promoting positive values, positive identity, and social competencies, we can help build resilience and reduce the risk of suicide among Black SMM.
