“…Several aspects of family functioning have been linked to Latina adolescent suicidal behaviors, including parental support, family response to stress, disruptions in family structure, and familial violence (De Luca, Wyman, & Warren, 2012; Gulbas et al, 2011, 2015; Peña et al, 2011; Szlyk, Gulbas, & Zayas, 2018; Turner, Kaplan, Zayas, & Ross, 2002). A study of a national sample of 1,618 Latina high‐school students found that suicidal ideation was associated with lower perceived father support, and attempt with lower perceived family support (De Luca et al, 2012).…”

Introduction For the past several decades, Latina adolescents have consistently shown high rates of suicidal behaviors (i.e., suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts), higher than Latino adolescents and adolescents of most other ethnic groups. Yet, progress toward establishing evidence‐based intervention efforts to address this urgent public health issue has been slow. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize empirical findings on etiological factors associated with Latina adolescent suicidal behaviors using an ecodevelopmental, gender‐specific framework that contextualizes Latina adolescent development. Methods To be included, peer reviewed empirical manuscripts had to focus on suicidal behaviors (i.e., suicide attempts, suicide plan, and/or suicidal ideation) of adolescents (ages 11–19 or in grades 7–12) who self‐identified as either Latina or Hispanic and a girl in the United States. Results A total of 19 studies met review criteria and focused on microsystemic and intrapersonal predictors. Microsystemic predictors included family (i.e., family‐adolescent discrepancies in acculturation, family functioning, family‐daughter interactions), peer (i.e., victimization, friendships), and school (i.e., functioning, achievement) factors, while intrapersonal predictors were emotional vulnerability, psychosocial functioning, and substance use. Conclusions Family‐related phenomena were the most widely studied. Research on school and peer microsystems was comparatively sparse, and several promising intrapersonal development factors have been underexplored. A notable limitation of existing studies is that samples consisted primarily of U.S.‐born adolescents living in urban areas. Additional research is needed to characterize factors on other ecodevelopmental levels, identify resilience processes, and examine within‐group diversity among Latina adolescents. Implications for intervention and future directions are discussed.

“…In gender and/or sexual minority oriented studies, children were considered oppressed because of their gender and/or sexuality. In an American Latino context, this gendered oppression was manifested by silencing and violence through intergenerational experiences, shaping suicidal behaviors in Latina teenagers (Szlyk et al, 2019). Another population of concern is LGBTQ youth.…”

Topic Although the concept of suicide in children and adolescents is widely present in the literature, its conceptual definition varies according to context, discipline, and time. How this concept is defined impacts the delivery of care to children and adolescents regarding suicide prevention in mental health settings and in the community. Purpose Using Rodgers's evolutionary method, we examined the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of “suicide in children” through temporal trends, and geographic locations. Sources In total, 106 articles were included. Searches were performed using CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Medline, as well as Google Scholar as a complementary tool. Conclusions Through a thematic analysis, we identified three themes: (1) developmental perspectives, (2) factors predicting suicide in children, and (3) the emancipation of children as active agents in society. Recent literature shows a movement toward acknowledging the voice of children and adolescents regarding suicide. We address clinical and future implications for the development of this concept.

“…The accounts served as analytical cases through which I could explore Netflix's promotional practices on Twitter (e.g. Szlyk et al , 2019). I sampled tweets from August 30, 2019, to December 31, 2019, which amassed a corpus of 1,432 tweets.…”

Labor, classification and productions of culture on Netflix

PurposeThis paper examines promotional practices Netflix employs via Twitter and its automated recommendation system in order to deepen our understanding of how streaming services contribute to sociotechnical inequities under capitalism.Design/methodology/approachTweets from two Netflix Twitter accounts as well as material features of Netflix's recommendation system were qualitatively analyzed using inductive analysis and the constant comparative method in order to explore dimensions of Netflix's promotional practices.FindingsTwitter accounts and the recommendation system profit off people's labor to promote content, and such labor allows Netflix to create and refine classification practices wherein both people and content are categorized in inequitable ways. Labor and classification feed into Netflix's production of culture via appropriation on Twitter and algorithmic decision-making within both the recommendation system and broader AI-driven production practices.Social implicationsAssemblages that include algorithmic recommendation systems are imbued with structural inequities and therefore unable to be fixed by merely diversifying cultural industries or retooling algorithms on streaming platforms. It is necessary to understand systemic injustices within these systems so that we may imagine and enact just alternatives.Originality/valueFindings demonstrate that via surveillance tactics that exploit people's labor for promotional gains, enforce normative classification schemes, and culminate in normative cultural productions, Netflix engenders practices that regulate bodies and culture in ways that exemplify interconnections between people, machines, and social institutions. These interconnections further reflect and result in material inequities that crystalize within sociotechnical processes.
