This critical scoping review examined a decade of mental health and wellbeing outcome research inclusive of subsamples of multiracial participants (or persons identifying with two or more different racial groups) in order to draw initial conclusions about the contemporary state of multiracial mental health. Mental health disparities research inclusive of multiracial subsamples appears to be trending upward. Studies that used subsample analyses offer initial evidence that multiracial persons are at greater risk to experience worsened mental health in comparison to white monoracial peers, and that this disparity is compounded for multiracial persons from gender and/or sexual minoritized groups. This review uncovered numerous theoretical and methodological inconsistencies that constrained existing research from advancing more meaningful understandings of how white supremacy and systemic mono/racism differently impact the mental health and wellbeing of multiracial persons in the USA. Implications for future mental health disparities research inclusive of multiracial subsamples are presented.
这项关键性范围界定评论审查了十年来包含多种族参与者亚组（或自我认同为两个或更多不同种族群体的人）的心理健康和幸福感研究结果，以初步得出关于当代多种族心理健康状况的结论。包含多种族亚组的心理健康差异研究似乎呈上升趋势。使用亚组分析的研究初步表明，与白人单种族同龄人相比，多种族人士更有可能经历更差的心理健康，并且对于来自性别和/或性少数群体的多种族人士而言，这种差异更为复杂。本评论发现了许多理论和方法上的不一致之处，这些不一致之处限制了现有研究更深入地了解白人至上主义和系统性单/种族主义如何不同地影响美国多种族人士的心理健康和幸福感。本文提出了包含多种族亚组的未来心理健康差异研究的意义。
