Abstract
The present study reframes the strong Black woman (SBW) identity as an intersectional cultural coping style that impacts experiences of depression and suicide for African American women in the United States. This study draws on previous findings that distilled affect regulation, self-reliance, and caretaking as SBW components. The researcher explored the SBW as a moderator of the existent relationship between depression and suicide in African American women. Findings indicated that depressed African American women who utilize this coping style, particularly affect regulation, demonstrated increased risk for suicidality. The researcher discusses implications for research and treatment options from a multicultural, feminist framework.
