The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $436,934 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242: Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of California, Los Angeles on June 1, 2026, for a two-year project period concluding May 31, 2028. This R21 exploratory research grant funds a longitudinal study examining suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) trajectories in Mexican-origin youth from preadolescence through young adulthood using an existing cohort of 674 participants from the California Families Project. The study will deliver empirical research products including longitudinal trajectory analyses of STBs across critical developmental stages, identification of clinical predictors (depression, anxiety, substance use) influencing STB initiation and progression, and evidence regarding culturally relevant protective factors (ethnic pride, familismo) that moderate clinical risk factors in this underrepresented population. The research leverages a robust, multi-informant, multi-method dataset spanning 19 years and applies the Family Stress Model as a culturally informed analytical framework. Guided by NIMH's mission to advance understanding and treatment of mental illnesses, this study will generate peer-reviewed publications and mechanistic insights intended to inform development of culturally responsive and developmentally informed suicide prevention interventions for Latino youth, addressing significant gaps in the literature regarding STB trajectories in this high-risk, understudied demographic.Federal Grant Award Summary
