The high rates of violence extend to the youth and young adult (18–24 years old) populations. New Mexico’s youth homicide and suicide rates have been higher than national rates over the last 10 years. This assessment includes analysis of risk and resiliency/protective factors among New Mexico youth. The assessment includes youth perspectives on risk and resiliency factors from several activities and surveys. Among the greatest risk factors identified by youth are drugs and alcohol use, racism, gang involvement, domestic violence, teen pregnancy, and mental health concerns. Youth report resiliency factors as positive relationships with peers and adults, participation in after school activities, and spiritual/religious involvement.
