Perceived Discrimination, Preparation for Bias, and Associations with Physical and Mental Health of Racially/Ethnically Marginalized Children.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
Prior studies suggest that perceived discrimination and preparation for bias are associated with children's mental health, yet few studies have examined relationships with children's physical health. The current study expands on prior literature by examining associations between perceived discrimination and preparation for bias parenting practices on the physical and mental health of racially/ethnically marginalized children. Children (n = 227, ages 7-13 years, 58% female; 28% Non-Hispanic Black, 26% Hispanic, 15% Hmong, 15% Native American, 10% multiracial/ethnic with White and 6% multiracial/ethnic without White) completed an in-clinic assessment of cardiometabolic health and self-reported perceived discrimination. Parents completed survey measures of their child's mental health (self-efficacy, inhibitory control, depression) and their use of preparation for bias parenting practices. Physical health measures (BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, pulse rate, hair cortisol) were taken at a lab visit. In adjusted regression analyses, children who self-reported any experiences of perceived discrimination had significantly lower levels of self-efficacy (p < 0.05) and inhibitory control (p < 0.05) than those who did not report experiences of discrimination. Preparation for bias parenting practices differed significantly by race/ethnicity and higher levels were associated with higher hair cortisol concentrations in children, reflecting elevated activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis (p < 0.05). There were otherwise no statistically significant differences in children's mental or physical health outcomes as a function of perceived discrimination or preparation for bias parenting practices. Our findings highlight the potential importance of interventions that reduce interpersonal discrimination and the need for further research on parenting practices that may influence children's health.
