In the United States, COVID-19 unfolded alongside profound racial trauma. Drawing on a population representative sample of 20-60 year-olds who were married or cohabiting, the National Couples' Health and Time Study ( =3,642), we examine two specific sources of stress: COVID-19 and racial trauma. We leverage the fully powered samples of respondents with racial/ethnic and sexual minority identities and find that COVID-19 and racial trauma stress were higher among individuals who were not White or heterosexual most likely due to racism, xenophobia, and cis-heterosexism at the individual and structural levels. Both COVID-19 and racial trauma stress were associated with poorer mental health outcomes even after accounting for a rich set of potential mechanistic indicators, including discrimination and social climate. We argue that the inclusion of assessments of stress are critical for understanding health and well-being among individuals impacted by systemic and interpersonal discrimination.
在美国，新冠疫情与深刻的种族创伤同时出现。利用全国夫妻健康与时间研究（样本量(n = 3642)）中具有代表性的20至60岁已婚或同居人群样本，我们研究了两种特定的压力源：新冠疫情和种族创伤。我们利用了具有种族/族裔和性少数群体身份的受访者的完整样本量，发现新冠疫情和种族创伤压力在非白人或非异性恋个体中更高，这很可能是由于个体和结构层面的种族主义、仇外心理和异性恋至上主义。即使在考虑了一系列丰富的潜在机制指标，包括歧视和社会氛围之后，新冠疫情和种族创伤压力都与较差的心理健康结果相关。我们认为，纳入压力评估对于理解受系统性和人际歧视影响的个体的健康和幸福至关重要。
