Abstract: This study identified four distinct profiles of adolescent perceived social support across multiple domains in a nationally representative sample (N = 6,330). Demographic disparities were pronounced, with males, racial minorities, and lower-socioeconomic youth overrepresented in low-support profiles. Findings underscore the need for equity-focused interventions addressing systemic gaps.
