“…There was an increase in depressive symptoms on the day following instances of racial discrimination for youth that experienced levels of low public regard as compared to participants' average level of public regard (Seaton & Iida, 2019). Butler-Barnes et al (2022) found that lower levels of racial centrality and higher levels of perceived teacher racial discrimination were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms among Black girls. Further, supporting nontraditional gender role beliefs with higher levels of perceived teacher racial discrimination was associated with lower levels of suicidal ideations (Butler-Barnes et al, 2022).…”

Suicide rates among Black youth have risen faster than any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades. Black youth residing in rural areas are subject to systemic challenges such as minimal access to mental healthcare providers, generational poverty and oppressive social structures that lead to racial discrimination. Racial discrimination places rural Black youth at increased risk for anxiety, depression, and suicide. Protective factors have been found to mitigate the negative impact of racial discrimination on mental health, but there is limited research covering suicidality and Black youth. This scoping review explores what is known about the role of protective factors in moderating the association between racism/discrimination and suicide risk among Black youth in the United States. Findings were mixed regarding the influence of protective factors in moderating the effects of racial discrimination on suicide risk and more exploration among Black youth in impoverished rural areas is warranted.

“…However, this may be partially due to the fewer cases of discrimination from teachers. Prior studies have found that teachers play a critical role in adolescent development and mental health [ 53 , 54 ]. Further studies should continue to investigate the relationships between ethnic discrimination perpetuated by teachers and adults outside school and binge eating.…”

Background Racial and ethnic discrimination are known stressors and are associated with negative psychological and physical health outcomes. Previous studies have found relationships between racial/ethnic discrimination and binge-eating disorder (BED), though they have mainly focused on adult populations. The aim of this study was to determine associations between racial/ethnic discrimination and BED in a large, national cohort study of early adolescents. We further sought to explore associations between the racial/ethnic discrimination perpetrator (students, teachers, or other adults) and BED. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 11,075, 2018–2020). Logistic regression analyses examined associations between self-reported experiences of racial or ethnic discrimination and binge-eating behaviors and diagnosis, adjusting for potential confounders. Racial/ethnic discrimination measures were assessed based on the Perceived Discrimination Scale, which measures experiences of discrimination based on race/ethnicity and frequency of ethnic discrimination by teachers, adults outside of school, and students. Binge-eating behaviors and diagnosis were based on the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (KSAD-5). Results In this racially diverse sample of adolescents (N = 11,075, age range 9–12 years), 4.7% of adolescents reported racial or ethnic discrimination and 1.1% met the criteria for BED. In the adjusted models, racial/ethnic discrimination was associated with 3 times higher odds of having BED (OR 3.31, CI 1.66–7.74). Further, experiences of ethnic discrimination by students and adults outside school were associated with significantly increased odds of BED diagnosis (OR 1.36, CI 1.10–1.68 and OR 1.42 CI 1.06–1.90, respectively)., Increased odds of binge eating behaviors were only significantly associated with ethnic discrimination perpetuated by students (OR 1.12, CI 1.02–1.23). Conclusions Children and adolescents who have experienced racial/ethnic discrimination, particularly when discrimination was perpetuated by other students, have higher odds of having binge-eating behaviors and diagnoses. Clinicians may consider screening for racial discrimination and providing anti-racist, trauma-informed care when evaluating and treating patients for BED.

“…Research consistently documents associations between internalized and interpersonal forms of stigma and mental health problems in multiple groups of stigmatized youth (e.g., youth of Color, girls, sexual minority youth; Bailey et al, 2021;Butler-Barnes et al, 2022;Chodzen et FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN STIGMA AND YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT 5 al., 2019;Price-Feeney et al, 2021;Reed et al, 2019;Rogers et al, 2022;Watson et al, 2019;Weeks & Sullivan, 2019). Relatively fewer studies have examined structural stigma in youth, but scholars have found associations between structural stigma and youth mental (e.g., anxiety, depression, suicidality; Beccia et al, 2022;Duncan & Hatzenbuehler, 2014;Hatzenbuehler, 2011;Hatzenbuehler & Keyes, 2013;Saewyc et al, 2020;Torres et al, 2018) and behavioral (e.g., smoking, alcohol/substance use; Eisenberg et al, 2020;Hatzenbuehler et al, , 2015Watson et al, 2020Watson et al, , 2021 health concerns.…”
