The current study was the first preliminary examination of physical and mental health outcomes for late adolescents impacted by police killing members of the Black community.
Cross-sectional online survey research.
429 college students completed surveys in September 2020. Physical and mental health specific to police killing members of the Black community and general physical and mental health were measured. Black Lives Matter activism, safety concerns due to police brutality, negative police experiences, and anti-racist behavior were also quantified.
More variance was explained by Black Lives Matter activism factors for models examining physical and mental health specific to the recent killings of Black citizens by police compared with models examining general physical and mental health.
Prevention efforts in healthcare and educational contexts should include screenings and education for those involved in Black Lives Matter activism or who have negative experiences (or worries about such experiences) with police.
本研究是对受警察杀害黑人社区成员影响的青少年晚期身心健康结果的首次初步调查。
横断面在线调查研究。
429名大学生于2020年9月完成了调查。测量了与警察杀害黑人社区成员相关的身心健康以及一般身心健康状况。还对“黑人的命也是命”运动、因警察暴行产生的安全担忧、负面警察经历和反种族主义行为进行了量化。
与检验一般身心健康的模型相比,在检验警察近期杀害黑人公民所特有的身心健康的模型中,“黑人的命也是命”运动因素解释的方差更多。
医疗保健和教育环境中的预防措施应包括对参与“黑人的命也是命”运动的人或有负面警察经历(或担心有此类经历)的人进行筛查和教育。
