Abstract
COVID-19 stressors are described for 152 U.S. Black and Latinx families from low-income households. Latinx families reported more exposure than Black families to COVID-19 stressors. Higher exposure and impact levels were associated with their middle-school-aged children’s behavior problems, but patterns of linkages differed by ethnicity and child gender.
