Stress and Stress Responses: Social, Cultural, and Biological Links to Adolescent Suicidality
Wed, April 7, 2:45 to 4:15pm EDT (2:45 to 4:15pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Paper Symposium
Abstract
Suicide is a public health crisis among American youth and remains the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 10-34 years old. Recent developmentally-based theories of adolescent suicide have addressed stress and stress responses as understudied risk factors that may address scant progress in this area, revealed by recent meta-analyses on suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB).
This group of papers will examine stress, stress responses, and adolescent STB in ethnically/racially diverse samples. These papers offer many strengths beyond past work. First, the studies incorporate innovative methodologies, including longitudinal (Papers 1, 3, and 4), multi-year (Paper 2) methods, advanced statistical techniques (e.g., latent growth modeling; Paper 2), and diverse at-risk and normative samples. Second, the papers examine stress from multiple perspectives, such as in vivo, cellular markers of responses to social stress (Paper 1), self-reported experiences of racial discrimination (Papers 2 and 4), and generalized indices of life stress (Papers 2, 3, and 4). Third, this work considers STB risk from a developmental perspective, incorporating level of pubertal development (Paper 3) and growth models that probe for changes across the adolescent transition (Paper 2).
Paper 1 examines somatic symptoms, life stress, pubertal development, and STB in an at-risk adolescent female sample. Papers 2 and 3 examine sociocultural risks in normative and at-risk Latinx samples, respectively. Paper 4 examines proinflammatory responses to social stress as a prospective predictor of STB. Together, these studies exemplify a new generation of STB research to guide future work on stress and stress responses.
