Abstract
Among 223 Latine and Black college students, we examine the relationship between trauma symptoms of discrimination, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and implicit behavioral tendencies. Findings revealed how discrimination-related trauma symptoms differed by race. Those who identified as Latine had elevated odds of NSSI and implicit behaviors compared to Black college students.
