Discrimination and Mental Health in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Black Youth.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough a substantial body of research has documented the adverse mental health impacts of discrimination, few studies have examined these outcomes and their association with ethnicity.
objectiveThis study characterizes variation in experiences of race-related bullying and adverse mental health symptoms among a sample of ethnically diverse Black adolescents.
methodsWe describe experiences of racially motivated bullying and associated protective factors across Black 8th,9th, and 11th grade youth (n=8,201) in the 2022 Minnesota Student Survey, using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsOver a quarter of youth (29.5%) across all Black ethnic subgroups reported bullying based on their racial identity. Nigerian, Multiethnic Black, and Multiracial youth reported the highest rates of race-related bullying (40.0%, 35.2%, and 35.2%). We find that Oromo Ethiopian (OR=0.51 CI=0.36-0.72; p<0.001), non-Oromo Ethiopian (OR=0.69; CI=0.50-0.95; p<0.05) and Somali (OR=0.63; CI=0.53-0.75; p<0.001) identities were associated with lower reported odds of depression compared to their African American peers. Oromo (OR=0.60; CI=0.43-0.85; p<0.01), Nigerian (OR=0.6; CI=0.45-0.95; p<0.05) , and Somali (OR=0.65; CI=0.54-0.78; p<0.001) youth reported lower odds of anxiety symptoms while Multiracial youth reported greater (OR=1.3; CI= 1.13-1.51; p<0.001) even when controlling for race-related bullying. Similar patterns were seen for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
conclusionThere exists a considerable amount of heterogeneity within Black adolescent populations, with regards to race-based bullying experience and mental health. These findings support the development of culturally or ethnically tailored interventions to address adverse mental health outcomes for Black youth.
