Facing the pandemic amidst mental health challenges: A longitudinal study of Black and Latino public housing residents.
October 1, 2026 · Journal of affective disorders
Key takeaway
This study found that if you had mental health issues before COVID-19, you were more likely to struggle during the pandemic. For our community, this means we need programs that support mental well-being, especially for those with past challenges, and build on our strength and resilience.
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.
