Abstract

Experiences of discrimination can alter neurobiology and increase psychosis risk. Intersectionality may result in multiple forms of discrimination. This study looks at the relationship of social adversity (e.g. sexism and racism) and psychotic like experiences in Black women, experimentally testing if social support is a protective factor.
