Abstract

Recent literature on racial or ethnic discrimination and mental health was reviewed to assess the current science and identify key areas of emphasis for social epidemiology. Objectives of this review were to (1) determine whether there have been advancements in the measurement and analysis of perceived discrimination, (2) identify the use of theories and/or frameworks in perceived discrimination and mental health research, and (3) assess the extent to which stress buffers are being considered and evaluated in the existing literature.
