Short- and long-term associations between recent stressful life events and adjustment among adolescents: The role of coping orientations.
June 29, 2026 · Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence
Key takeaway
Experiencing multiple stressful life events can hurt our young people's sleep and mood long-term. How they deal with stress matters; avoiding problems or focusing only on emotions can make things worse. This helps us understand how to better support Black youth facing tough times.
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.
