SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS AMONG AFRICAN AMERICANS: FINDINGS FROM THE NATIONAL SURVEY OF AMERICAN LIFE
Open accessAbstract
Despite their low social standing, there remains a paucity of research on psychological distress among African Americans. We use data from the 2001-2003 National Survey of American Life to explore a wide array of social and economic predictors of psychological distress among African American adults ages 18 and older, including previous incarceration, history of welfare receipt, and having a family member who is either currently incarcerated or homeless. Younger age, lower income, lower educational attainment, and lower self-rated health and childhood health are associated with higher levels of psychological distress among African Americans. We also find a strong association between higher levels of material hardship, previous incarceration history, and the presence of a family member who is either incarcerated or homeless and higher levels of psychological distress. The findings highlight the importance of considering unique types of social disadvantage experienced by African Americans living in a highly stratified society.

A large body of research documents that Black Americans often report positive mental health despite limited socioeconomic resources, high social stress exposure, and poor physical health.
“A substantial body of research has documented paradoxical health patterns among Black Americans such that this group generally reports positive mental health (i.e., a lower prevalence of psychiatric disorders) despite limited socioeconomic resources, heightened exposure to social stress, and poor physical health outcomes”

The Introduction (page unavailable) describes a substantial body of research finding lower rates of psychiatric disorders among Black Americans than White Americans despite lower socioeconomic status, and it discusses chronic exposure to stressful conditions. It does not establish the claimed paradox in relation to poor physical health outcomes; the Discussion addresses physical health as a correlate of distress, not as part of that race-comparative pattern. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHigh levels of psychological distress and poor physical health tend to be prevalent among Black Americans.
“At the same time, high levels of psychological distress (i.e., depressive symptoms) and poor physical health tend to be prevalent among this group (Barnes and Bates 2017; Mouzon et al. 2016; Thomas Tobin 2021; Thomas Tobin et al. 2020).”
From Is John Henryism a Health Risk or Resource?: Exploring the Role of Culturally Relevant Coping for Physical and Mental Health among Black Americans. (2021) · cites this paper as Mouzon et al. 2016
The Introduction says race-comparative studies generally find higher psychological distress among Black Americans, though it later describes the evidence on racial differences as equivocal. The Results do not establish that poor physical health is prevalent: respondents’ average self-rated physical health fell between “good” and “very good.” The paper links poorer self-rated health with greater distress, but that association does not support the prevalence claim.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
