    Delisa G Brown, Priya K Johal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2026

    Systemic racism and structural oppression are key drivers of health inequities, shaping substance use patterns and contributing to disproportionate harms among Black communities.

This study investigates whether raci…

    There have been persistent mental health disparities for Black and African American communities in the United States.

These discrepancies in treatment and support drive mental health inequities, which have rippling social and economic consequences. To inform research and policy that improv…

    Open AccessAlexandria G Bauer, Amudha Balaraman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026Referencias: 78

    Across the United States, Black women are likely to have unmet mental health needs, with greater personal, social, and structural barriers to mental health treatment compared to other groups. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) may help to conceptualize young Black women’s mental health beliefs and help-seeking behaviors. The current study aimed to use the TPB framework and a concurrent mixed methods approach to explore behavioral, normative, an…

Receipt of an HIV test was examined using objective data …

    Despite risk for trauma, subsequent mental health concerns, and poor health outcomes, young Black/African American men (YBM) are less likely to receive mental health services than other racial/ethnic groups. Despite the growing literature on resilience, there is less information on relationships between resilience, risk behaviors, and use of mental health services. This study sought to examine resilience, trauma-related risk behaviors, and receip…
