Abstract

The present commentary offers a timely exploration of the racial trauma experienced by Asian, Black, and Latinx communities as it relates to COVID-19. Instances of individual, cultural, and structural racism and implications for mental health are discussed. Evidence-based strategies are identified for mental health professionals in order to support healing and mitigate the risk of further racial traumas.

    “Racism, including experiencing racial microaggressions, and related stress, have become even more pronounced problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they are associated with later inflammation, chronic health conditions, suicidal ideation, externalizing and internalizing symptoms, and alcohol-related problems (Liu and Modir, 2020;Spanierman et al., 2021;Williams, 2020;Williams et al., 2023).”

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.
