Abstract

Not surprisingly, there is a paucity of research on the assessment of suicidality and depression in African American adults and youth. While we have elucidated the measures of which we are aware with any substantial psychometric evaluation with African Americans, we are limited in our discussions on this topic given that we could identify no measures with a specific focus on African Americans. New measures are currently being examined to assess suicide in multicultural populations (e.g., the Cultural Assessment of Risk for Suicide measure—CARS but more research is needed to generate a significant group of measures readily identifiable as highly relevant to the needs of African Americans.
