Method: The MHL scale was used to asse…
Using Ecological Momentary Assessments to Understand Black Youths’ Experiences of Racism, Stress, and Safety

Individual- and neighborhood-level expressions of anti-Black racism have been explored in many studies; however, Black youths' experiences of racism across routine activity locations have not been examined as extensively.

This paper details six of these …
