Abstract
COVID-19 has substantially impacted the public’s mental health. This study empirically documents how COVID-19 experiences, distress, and positive functioning varied across racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. While racial disparities in rates of COVID-19 experiences and related distress were found, certain groups with higher distress also reported considerable levels of resilience.
