Covid-19 Pandemic-Related Stressors and Black Mothers’ Mental Health
We conducted a convergent mixed-methods study to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black mothers’ mental health. Black mothers ( N = 88) completed measures of pandemic-related stressors, mental health, racial centrality, and social support; 44 mothers participated in focus groups assessing mothers’ pandemic-related stressors and coping strategies. Results of bootstrapped hierarchical linear regression analyses showed that pandemic-…

We conducted focus groups with 26 Black parents of chi…
Black mothers' ethnic–racial socialization one year after highly publicized anti‐Black murders during the pandemic

Researchers generated the following themes using reflexive th…

Six focus groups were held with Black Americans living in the DC metropolitan area at the time of the attack. T…
