Multilevel associations between discrimination and sleep health among ethnically and racially minoritized students during the college transition: Coping as a mediator.

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
objectivesEthnically and racially minoritized college students encounter various forms of discrimination, which disrupt sleep health. However, the mechanisms linking daily and chronic discrimination and sleep are less clear. This study investigated coping responses as a mediator linking discrimination and sleep at both the daily and chronic levels.
methodThe analytic sample includes 482 ethnically and racially minoritized first-year college students (
resultsResults from multilevel mediation analysis showed that rumination fully mediated the within person-level associations between both everyday discrimination and ethnic and racial discrimination and sleep onset latency. Rumination also mediated the between person-level associations between everyday discrimination and ethnic and racial discrimination and sleep health (i.e., sleep duration, sleep quality, respectively). Although discrimination was associated with problem solving, problem solving was not associated with sleep within or across participants.
conclusionsDiscrimination is a daily and chronic social stressor that is associated with impaired sleep health. This study shows that this association is explained by ruminative arousal. Leveraging these novel findings to promote sleep health among ethnically and racially minoritized college students during the college transition, implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.
