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.

项目概要 继续面临与歧视相关的压力源（例如种族/民族歧视、不公平待遇） 作为健康的社会决定因素，对少数群体提出公共卫生挑战。 与歧视相关的压力源一直与不良的心理健康结果相关， 迫切需要确定机制和可塑性风险/保护因素，以整合到设计中 该 R01 应用程序的总体目标是研究中介因素。 以及多个生态（个人、家庭/同伴和学校/邻里层面）和时间尺度的调节者 （微观和宏观时间）歧视相关压力源与心理健康之间联系的水平 340 名墨西哥裔青年以社会生态学、生命历程的观点为指导，提出了三个项目。 具体目标：(1) 确定影响墨西哥裔美国人血统的人内歧视相关压力源 青少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）； 确定可以帮助青少年成功应对与歧视相关的压力源的保护因素以及 这些保护因素发挥作用的条件；(3) 阐明青少年、家长和邻居 调节青少年歧视相关压力源与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、“他者化”和消极的邻里互动的有害影响的中心假设是： 这种联系将通过认知和/或情感机制（即愤怒、过度警觉、情绪 监管、低社会地位对自我价值的威胁）并通过应对资源（父母的 适应和种族社会化）以及家庭、同伴和邻里的支持，从而代表了多重 基于社区的合作将有助于确保目标样本的招募。 墨西哥裔青少年、母亲和父亲；父亲的参与将为社会做出宝贵贡献。 鉴于缺乏对拉丁裔父亲/继父的研究，通过对两者的创新整合。 年度纵向（宏观时间）和日常日记（微观时间）研究设计特点、重要问题 将讨论调解和调节过程如何随时间展开的问题。 也反映了拉丁裔青少年通过使用个人层面所占据的多层次的社会文化地位 方法以及二元法（青少年-母亲；青少年-父亲）和三元法（青少年-母亲-父亲） 考虑到当前拉丁裔移民的增长，有必要进行分析以检验关键的研究假设。 测试墨西哥裔青少年的风险和复原力的社会生态模型，该模型对两者都有反应 他们的直接背景和围绕移民的更大的全球力量这项研究具有高度的转化性。 它将促进制定更有效、对文化敏感的预防和干预战略 为拉丁裔青少年及其家人。
