Given the potential negative effects of vicarious racism, we sought to examine the impact of vicarious racism via the media on college students of color. Using a sample of 217 college students of color, we analyzed positive and negative affect and craving for alcohol and marijuana before and after exposure to media stimuli. Split‐plot analysis of variance results revealed a statistically significant interaction effect between time and group for negative affect, but not cravings for substances.

In this meta‐analysis, we synthesized 42 between‐group studies (N = 4114) evaluating the effectiveness of culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy (CA‐CBT) on reducing depression and anxiety severity when compared to waitlist/control groups and active alternative treatments. Separate random‐effects meta‐analyses revealed moderate‐to‐large effect sizes in favor of CA‐CBT on depression and anxiety when compared to active alternative treatments and waitlist/control groups. Independent random‐effects models revealed evidence of publication bias and indicated influential moderating effects on anxiety. Implications for counselor practice are discussed.
