Abstract

This study explores impact of friendships on mental health risks of gendered racism experienced by young women of color offline and online. Among 339 Asian/Asian American, Black, and Hispanic/Latina women, the co-rumination partially mediated the association between discrimination and mental health risk, while high quality friendships buffered the risk.
