Although persistent health disparities affecting marginalized communities have long been recognized, marginalized populations (i.e., oppressed groups with stigmatized social identities) have remained significantly understudied in clinical science and allied disciplines. To reduce mental health disparities, it is critical to examine the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of color and sexual and gender minority populations within an intersectional framework (i.e., intersection of multiple marginalized identities) and to identify processes through which these experiences relate to risk and resilience for negative mental health outcomes. The goal of this special section is to highlight recent efforts to address this critical need by examining mental health among marginalized individuals impacted by multiple systems of oppression. These studies demonstrate the generative potential of intersectional approaches in clinical science. Our hope is that these studies will encourage future work in this field, with the ultimate aim of addressing disparities in underserved and understudied populations.

尽管长期以来一直认识到影响边缘化社区的持续健康差距,但边缘化人群(即具有污名化社会身份的受压迫群体)在临床科学和相关学科中仍然研究不足。为了减少心理健康差距,必须在交叉框架内(即多个边缘化身份的交叉)检查黑人、土著和有色人种以及性和性别少数群体的经历,并确定这些经历与负面心理健康结果的风险和适应能力相关的过程。本特刊的目标是通过检查受多种压迫制度影响的边缘化个体的心理健康,强调最近为满足这一关键需求所做的努力。这些研究表明了交叉方法在临床科学中的生成潜力。我们希望这些研究将鼓励该领域的未来工作,最终目标是解决服务不足和研究不足人群的差距。(PsycInfo 数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
