Project Summary Exposure to discrimination-related stressors (e.g., racial/ethnic discrimination, unfair treatment) continues to pose a public health challenge to minority populations as a social determinant of health. Although discrimination-related stressors have been consistently associated with poor mental health outcomes, there is a critical need to identify mechanisms and malleable risk/protective factors to integrate in the design of community and clinical interventions. The overall objective of this R01 application is to investigate mediators and moderators at multiple ecological (individual, family/peer and school/neighborhood levels) and time-scale (micro- and macro-time) levels in the link between discrimination-related stressors and mental health among 340 Mexican-origin youth. Guided by a socioecological, life course perspective, the proposed project has three specific aims: (1) determine within-person discrimination-related stressors that impact Mexican-American origin youth’s mental health outcomes as well as the mechanisms of action at both micro- and macro-time levels; (2) identify protective factors that could help youth to successfully cope with discrimination-related stressors and the conditions under which those protective factors work; and (3) elucidate the youth, parent, and neighborhood risk factors that moderate the link between discrimination-related stressors and mental health in youth. The project’s long-term goal is to improve the mental health of Mexican-origin youth by reducing the deleterious effects of racism, “othering,” and negative neighborhood interactions. The central hypothesis is that this link will be mediated by cognitive and/or affective mechanisms (i.e. anger, hypervigilance, emotion regulation, low social position as threats to self-worth) and moderated by coping resources (parental adaptation and racial socialization) and family, peer, and neighborhood supports, thus representing multiple ecological levels. Community-based collaboration will help ensure recruitment of the targeted sample of Mexican-origin adolescents, mothers, and fathers; the inclusion of fathers will be a valuable contribution to the literature, given the dearth of studies on Latinx fathers/stepfathers. Through the innovative integration of both yearly longitudinal (macro-time) and daily diary (micro-time) research design features, important questions about how mediating and moderating processes unfold over time will be addressed. The proposed analyses also reflect the multi-layered sociocultural niches occupied by Latinx adolescents by employing individual-level methods as well as dyadic (adolescent-mother; adolescent-father) and triadic (adolescent-mother-father) analyses to test key study hypotheses. Considering the current growth of Latinx immigrants, it is imperative to test a socioecological model of risk and resilience for Mexican-origin adolescents that is responsive to both their immediate context and the larger global forces around migration. This research is highly translational in that it will facilitate the development of more effective, culturally sensitive prevention and intervention strategies for Latinx youth and their families.

项目摘要 遭受歧视相关的压力源（例如，种族/族裔歧视、不公平待遇）的情况继续存在 作为健康的一个社会决定因素，对少数群体构成公共卫生挑战。虽然 与歧视有关的压力源一直与心理健康状况不佳有关， 迫切需要确定机制和可塑性风险/保护因素，以纳入设计 社区和临床干预。此R 01应用程序的总体目标是调查中介 和多个生态（个人，家庭/同伴和学校/邻里水平）和时间尺度的主持人 在与歧视有关的压力源和心理健康之间的联系方面， 340名墨西哥裔青年。以社会生态学、生命历程的观点为指导，拟议的项目有三个 具体目标：（1）确定影响墨西哥裔美国人的人内歧视相关压力源 青年的心理健康结果以及微观和宏观时间层面的行动机制;（2） 确定可帮助青年成功科普与歧视有关的压力的保护因素， 这些保护因素的工作条件;（3）阐明青年，父母和邻居 缓解与歧视有关的压力源与青年心理健康之间联系的风险因素。 该项目的长期目标是通过减少墨西哥裔青年的心理健康， 种族主义、“他者”和消极的邻里互动的有害影响。核心假设是， 这种联系将通过认知和/或情感机制（即愤怒、过度警觉、情绪）来介导 调节，低社会地位的威胁自我价值）和调节的应对资源（父母 适应和种族社会化）和家庭，同伴和邻里的支持，从而代表了多重 生态水平。基于社区的协作将有助于确保招募到目标样本， 墨西哥裔青少年、母亲和父亲;将父亲包括在内将是对 文学，鉴于缺乏对拉丁裔父亲/继父的研究。通过创新性地整合两者， 年度纵向（宏观时间）和每日日记（微观时间）研究设计特征，重要问题 将讨论调解和缓和进程如何随着时间的推移而展开。拟议的分析 也反映了多层次的社会文化壁龛所占据的拉丁裔青少年采用个人层面的 方法以及二元（双母;双父）和三元（双母-父） 分析测试关键研究假设。考虑到目前拉丁裔移民的增长， 测试墨西哥裔青少年的风险和弹性的社会生态模型， 它们的直接背景和围绕移徙的更大的全球力量。这项研究是高度转化， 强调强调 为拉丁裔青年和他们的家庭。
