Abstract
The current study examined the association between depression and suicide ideation among Black young adults, and the moderating role of self-acceptance. Analyses revealed that self-acceptance moderated the association between depressive symptomatology and suicide ideation. Findings suggest self-acceptance may be an important treatment target for reducing suicide vulnerability among Black adults.
