Suicide Risk Prediction Tools Fail People of Color

Suicide Risk Prediction Tools Fail People of Color By Batya Swift Yasgur, MA May 7, 2021 Current models used to predict suicide risk fall short for certain populations including Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), new research shows. Investigators developed two suicide prediction models to examine whether these types of tools are accurate. They found both prediction models failed to identify high-risk BIPOC individuals. In the first model, nearly half of the visits followed by suicide were identified in white patients versus only 7% of visits followed by suicide in BIPOC patients. The second model had a sensitivity of 41% for white patients, but just 3% for Black patients and 7% for American Indian/Alaskan Native patients.
