Intersecting Inequities: Racism-Based Police Violence and Mental Health Correlates Among Black and Hispanic Emerging Adults With Disabilities.
September 2, 2026 · Journal of interpersonal violence
Key takeaway
Police violence against Black people, including what we see in media, harms our mental health, especially for young Black adults with disabilities. This is important because it shows how tough it is for us and why we need better mental health support that understands our experiences.
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.
