This book is dedicated to our families, whose life histories,
sacrifices, and support enabled us to pursue careers as youth
suicide researchers; to our children, who inspire us to pursue
research that opens up opportunities for future generations; to
our students, who motivate us to work to break down barriers
faced by communities that have not been centered in
suicidology research; and to the scholars, researchers,
clinicians, and organizations working to understand, assess,
and prevent suicide among youth from diverse backgrounds.
