DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The research proposed here includes: qualitative feedback via focus groups, and quantitative analyses using longitudinal data from the Healing Pathways Project. I plan to co-facilitate focus group sessions with American Indian mental health service providers and community elders on the history, awareness, and potential solutions surrounding suicidal behaviors among the youth of their communities. Transcriptions from these sessions, along with a review of the theoretical frameworks accompanying this literature, will inform subsequent quantitative analyses that include: 1) cross-sectional tests of the factors that exacerbate or diminish the risk of suicide among a specific sample of American Indian youth (aged 10-12 at baseline); 2) longitudinal data analyses of these potential factors across time, including a test of the effects of multiple developmental processes (i.e., externalizing and internalizing behaviors, cultural identity, and historical loss) on suicidal behaviors throughout adolescence. This research will include special considerations of culturally specific influences of suicidality. Overall, this translational research consists of my dissertation work and will later be applied toward the development of culturally appropriate suicide prevention programming.

描述（由申请人提供）：此处提出的研究包括：通过焦点组的定性反馈，以及使用愈合途径项目的纵向数据进行定量分析。我计划与美洲印第安人精神卫生服务提供者和社区长者共同参与焦点小组会议，讨论其社区年轻人自杀行为的历史，意识和潜在解决方案。这些会话的抄录以及对本文伴随的理论框架的回顾将为随后的定量分析提供信息，其中包括：1）对加剧或减少特定印度印度青年样本（基线10-12岁）自杀风险的因素的横断面测试； 2）对这些潜在因素的纵向数据分析，包括测试多个发展过程（即外部化和内在行为，文化认同和历史损失）对整个青春期自杀行为的影响。这项研究将包括对自杀性的文化特定影响的特殊考虑。总体而言，这项翻译研究由我的论文工作组成，后来将用于发展适当的自杀预防计划。
