Abstract: Arab-American (AA) populations in the US are exposed to discrimination and acculturative stresstwo factors that have been associated with higher suicide risk. However, prior work suggests that socially oriented norms andbehaviors, which characterize recent immigrant ethnic groups, may be protective against suicide risk. Here we explored suicide rates and their determinants among AAs in Michigan, the state with the largest proportion of AAs in the US.
