  • The review summarizes research from 2013 to 2019 showing that experiences of racial discrimination are linked to poorer mental and physical health outcomes, including increased disease risk, worse health behaviors, and lower healthcare utilization.
  • Studies from both within the U.S. and internationally indicate that discrimination not only affects adults but may also harm children and adolescents, though psychosocial resources can help mitigate some of these effects.
  • The findings highlight that racial discrimination is an important and emerging factor contributing to health disparities, emphasizing the need for further research and effective interventions to reduce its negative impact on health.]
