This study aims to identify suicidality which includes depression, suicidal ideation, suicide plans, suicide attempts and lethal suicide attempts of multicultural adolescents based on the visible minority perspective. For this study, according to their visibility, multicultural adolescents were classified into "visible minority" (hereafter VM) and "invisible minority" (hereafter IM), and compared with korean monocultural adolescents. Data was obtained from 13th the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS) and the subjects consisted of 639 multicultural adolescents and 57,595 monocultural adolescents. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, VM and IM accounted for each of 0.36%, 0.74%. but both had greater risk of overall suicidality other than suicidal ideation. Second, VM had 2.46 times higher risk odds for suicide attempts and 14.39 times higher risk for lethal suicide attempts than monocultural adolescents. Third, difference between the three groups (VM, IM, and monocultural adolescents) of suicidal ideation was not significant, but the suicide plan was found to be significantly higher in IM group than monocultural adolescents. Based on these results, political and clinical implications to reduce suicidality of multicultural adolescents were discussed.
