Racism-based experiences among Black African immigrants in the United States are a growing concern due to the prevalence of these events and risk for negative health (mental, behavioral, and physical) outcomes. This integrative review appraised published studies (2012-2023) addressing the relationship between racism-based experiences and adverse health for Black African immigrants. Articles were identified using structured search terms in several databases (APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science), Google Scholar, and citation mining. A total of fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies found a significant positive association between racism-based experiences and adverse mental ( = 9), behavioral ( = 3), and physical ( = 2) health outcomes. Racism-based experiences appear to have mental, behavioral, and physical health consequences for Black African immigrant adults. Given the growing population of Black African immigrants in the United States, more work is needed to elucidate the relationship between racism-based experiences and negative health outcomes.
由于此类事件的普遍发生及其对健康（包括精神、行为和生理健康）产生负面影响的风险，以美国的非裔非洲移民为对象的种族主义经历引起了越来越多的关注。本综述评估了 2012 年至 2023 年间发表的研究，这些研究探讨了非裔非洲移民的种族主义经历与不良健康结果之间的关系。文章通过在多个数据库（APA PsycINFO、CINAHL、PubMed、Web of Science）、Google Scholar 和引文挖掘中使用结构化搜索词进行了检索。共有 14 项研究符合纳入标准。研究发现，种族主义经历与不良心理健康（ = 9）、行为（ = 3）和生理（ = 2）健康结果之间存在显著的正相关关系。种族主义经历似乎会对非裔非洲移民成年人的精神、行为和身体健康产生影响。鉴于美国非裔非洲移民的人数不断增加，需要进一步研究种族主义经历与不良健康结果之间的关系。
