Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Lives of Young Adults: Exploring Motivations and Mental Health.
August 2, 2026 · The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine
Key takeaway
Black youth are using AI more, and how they use it can affect their mental health. Using AI for learning may be helpful, but relying on it for emotional support might relate to feeling down or anxious.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in mental health helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
