Abstract
We examined ethnic identity and loneliness as predictors of suicide risk in Latinos. Results of regression analyses indicated that ethnic identity accounted for risk. Moreover, loneliness was found to account for additional variance in risk. Findings underscore the importance of emic and etic variables when studying suicide risk in Latinos.
