Stark L, Seff I, Yu G, et al. - Adolescents born in the Middle East and North Africa region may represent a vulnerable group in need of targeted and culturally responsive interventions to destigmatize mental health and psychosocial well-being, strengthen existing sources of resilience, and encourage help-seeking behaviors.

• This study examines quantitative data (N = 357) from the Detroit and Harrisonburg Studies of Adolescent Lives After Migration to America.

• Suicidal ideation and resilience were found to be inversely related.

• Adolescents who reported higher levels of hope and school belonging reported higher levels of resilience, whereas lower levels of school belonging were associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation.

• More stressful life events were correlated with suicide ideation, while fewer were related to resilience.

• Being born outside of the United States was linked to suicidal ideation, with those from the Middle East and North Africa region facing a significantly increased risk of suicidal ideation.
