Abstract

The current study used a longitudinal design to examine the effects of discrimination among minoritized racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic and the racial awakening of 2020. Discrimination was associated with increased stress and depression six weeks later, and discrimination trauma a year later.
