The rising of African American suicide is a problem that not many know about. The literature review will uncover these unknowns and try to bring a clearer picture of this disparity. During the literature review, a multitude of questions will be examined. Starting with the main question, what does existing research say about Black children and suicide. Along with that, go through the trends if any about it and see what the statistics are showing those who are looking. The review will look to see if the trends are increasing or decreasing and look to see what the risk factors are. The literature would then create a profile of the statistics which encompasses; whose most at risk, an overview of how most of the data has been collected, and the suicide vs suicide attempt rates. Along with this, it will look into what the research is recommending on how to address this health disparity. Within this, the review will see what are some of the best for working with at-risk youth and seeing how others are tackling the disparity. Lastly, the review looks into why is the issue of suicide and suicide attempt is important and what are the protective factors.
