Although prior work has revealed the presence of parent-adolescent discrepant reports, we have little insight into exactlyThe sample included 45 dyads of adolescents (Greater discrepancies in reports of adolescents' suicide ideation and NSSI were observed among racial minority parent-adolescent dyads (Black, Asian, Multiracial, Other) relative to White dyads. Racial minority parents tended to report less suicide ideation and NSSI observed in their adolescents compared to adolescents' self-report.
