“…It is essential to acknowledge that certain historical realities, such as the Transatlantic Slave Trade, were intentionally designed to facilitate the enslavement of people of African descent. These circumstances were explicit and directly aimed at subjugating and exploiting African populations [69,72], and their sociocultural existence continues to be a challenge in a society of high social instability and unacceptance, such as racialized sexism or misogynoir [73,74].…”

“…Researchers have used the womanist framework to understand better the perceptions and beliefs about mental health services and depression care among African American women [14,46,52]. This framework considers their unique ethnocultural background, history, heritage, and life experiences [69]. In understanding depression among African Americans, from a womanist perspective, the realm moves beyond individual contexts to a communal, sociocultural context, which is necessary to appreciate the cultural values (e.g., the extended self) undergirding depression and depression care.…”

Although studies indicate the influence of cultural beliefs on attitudes toward mental health and depression care services, there is a need to focus on the process of how culture plays a role in perceptions of mental health and depression care [1]. The purpose of this study is to explore, utilizing qualitative methods (e.g., focus groups), how cultural beliefs influence 40 African American women in their perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs about mental health services and mental health assistance-seeking behaviors, specifically regarding depression care. Participants’ narratives reveal a clear preference for service provider-client race concordance. Participants’ narratives also reveal cultural and communal stigma and gender socialization to be a “Strong Black Woman” as deterrents to mental health assistance seeking behaviors. Recommendations for incorporating the role that ethnocultural beliefs and values of different culturally-gendered groups regarding mental health and assistance-seeking behaviors be included in social work and allied health professions [2].

“…As reviewed by Jones and Neblett (2016), a few preventive intervention programs for youth include components of cultural pride, and more include a focus on Afrocentricity (Borum, 2007) and Africentric socialization which underscores values of love of self, heritage, and commitment to economic and political development of people of African descent (Oliver, 1989). Findings from the current study underscore that a critical next step in this line of research is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of programs designed to support parent ethnic-racial socialization (i.e., cultural socialization and racial pride) of children on the prevention of sleep problems in Black youth and promotion of positive youth development.…”

Racial disparities in sleep have been reported with Black adolescents showing the least amount of sleep relative to other youth. Yet, few within-group studies have examined factors that protect Black adolescents from sleep problems. To address this gap, we tested whether parent ethnic–racial socialization (i.e., instilling a sense of cultural and racial pride) at fourth grade moderated the associations between bedtime sleep problems at third and sixth grade. Using data from a sample of Black parents and children who participated in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (n = 173), we found that for children with low, but not high, parent ethnic–racial socialization at fourth grade bedtime problems increased from third and sixth grade. We discuss these findings within the existing parent ethnic–racial socialization and sleep literatures and how they further our understanding of the protective effects of parent ethnic–racial socialization.
