Abstract

Mental health challenges (MHC) continue to be a barrier for students to thrive in higher education. We examined race/ethnicity differences among graduate students to elucidate the interplay of MHC, discrimination, and academic performance. While minoritized students are not differentially at risk, resilience interventions might lessen impacts of discrimination on MHC.
