Episode 26 – Racial and Gender Health Disparities in Youth Suicide: Part 1

Show Notes by Alec J. Calac

Summary: In this first half of a two-part series, we discuss the growing rates of suicide amongst child and adolescent populations in the United States, with a focus on historically underserved groups. In particular, our guests, Dr. Tami Benton and Dr. Kevin Simon, elucidate the disturbing rises in suicidality—suicide attempts and suicidal ideation—and suicide fatality amongst Indigenous and Black youth. Drs. Benton and Simon recount the pervasive nature of the suicide crisis impacting Black and Indigenous youth and offer insights into how we may begin ameliorating these harrowing inequities. 

Episode Learning Objectives

1. Identify barriers and facilitators to establishing care with a child and adolescent psychiatrist
2. Explain the shifting visibility of racial and gender health disparities in the academic literature

Speaker Biographies

Dr. Tami Benton, MD, is the Frederick Allen Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the Psychiatrist-in-Chief and Chair of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She is the President of The American Association of Directors of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AADCAP) and the President of The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP). She served on the National Institute of Mental Health Advisory Council and the APA’s Council for Research. Dr. Benton mentors clinical and research physicians, fellows, and postdoctoral trainees. She was awarded the Society of Biological Psychiatry Humanitarian Award and the Community Outreach Award by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Dr. Benton’s career has been dedicated to developing leadership for a diverse child psychiatry workforce. Her mission — preparing the next generation of diverse physician leaders in pediatric healthcare and mental health and creating partnerships between communities and academic centers — will be critical for eliminating disparities among minority populations.

Dr. Kevin M. Simon, MD, MPH, is Boston’s inaugural Chief Behavioral Health Officer, appointed by Mayor Michelle Wu. He is a physician-scientist, health policy expert, inspirational teacher, and a gifted writer. Dr. Simon is a pediatric addiction medicine psychiatrist at Boston Children’s Hospital; an assistant professor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School; a recent Commonwealth Fund fellow in health policy at Harvard University; and the medical director of Wayside Youth & Family Support Network. Clinically, he cares for youth and families through the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and the new Division of Addiction Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital. Academically, he has won multiple awards for research on structural violence, health equity, and mental health. Additionally, he consults with federal agencies on mental health system design and practices. Dr. Simon’s writings on health equity are in notable journals like the American Journal of Public Health and the New England Journal of Medicine. National audiences regularly seek his perspectives on mental health through trusted outlets. 

Episode Takeaways

• Community health centers play an important role in access to evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in community values. They are often the first interface for patients experiencing mental health crises, not academic medical centers. 

• The youth suicide crisis is disproportionately shouldered by Indigenous and Black and African American communities. Historical challenges include inadequate data surveillance and reporting systems and “hidden” trends brought to the attention of academics by Dr. Jeffrey Bridge, a leading researcher at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Among these groups, youth suicide is particularly more prominent at younger ages when compared to other racial and ethnic groups.

• Groups experiencing severe morbidity and mortality–due to any psychiatric cause–often do not reflect the demographics of inpatient hospital censuses. Comprehensive mental health interventions are often beyond reach of those uninsured and underinsured.

• Resources are often directed to the largest group by number, not necessarily the group with the highest incidence and prevalence per capita. This can have devastating effects on public health and impede timely policy and program development. Literature has also shown that youth beneficiaries in Medicaid are not prioritized for mental health services when compared to other programs, which impedes continuity of care.

• There are a growing number of Child Psychiatric Access Programs, including one in Massachusetts, which provide quick access to psychiatric consultation and facilitates referrals for accessing ongoing behavioral health care. These programs recognize the increasing difficulties in having to first see a community-based primary care provider before seeing a specialized psychiatrist.

• Diversifying your mental health outreach goes hand in hand with diversifying your providers. This is directly related to the importance of cultural humility in mitigating health disparities among racial and gender minority youth, as well as literature highlighting the benefits of racial concordance between providers and patients.

• According to a 2019 study published by Price and Khubchandani, the suicide rate among Black girls increased by a striking 182% over the course of 2001 to 2017. Despite these increases there remains a paucity of literature addressing this critical disparity. 

• Language plays an important role in obtaining a thorough mental health history. Youth are often not familiar with medical jargon on questionnaires and intake forms, which can work against important conversations and opportunities for shared decision-making. 

• Large language models and artificial intelligence technologies are likely biased by the documentation we place in the electronic health record, which may reinforce youth health disparities.
