ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted preexisting health disparities and impacted the mental health of many Latine/x in the United States. Emerging adults are at increased risk for anxiety, depression (Ganson et al., 2021; Kujawa et al., 2020), and suicidal ideation (Tasnim et al., 2020). There is a scarcity of research that has examined sociocultural factors (i.e., racial bias, pandemic-related stress) associated with mental health outcomes (i.e., depression) and how they may be associated with self-harm resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic for Mexican-descent emerging adults. Using socioecological framework, we examined how COVID-19-related racial bias and perceived pandemic stress related to self-harm among Mexican-descent emerging adults. We used serial mediation to identify indirect effects between these factors. The present study examined the experiences of Mexican-descent college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants (N = 818) were college students (ages 18-25) and completed an online survey. Rates of self-harm were as follows 10.5% (suicide ideation), 6.9% (nonsuicidal self-injury), and 2.9% (suicide attempts). Results showed a significant indirect effect of COVID-19-related racial bias on suicide attempts via COVID-19-related perceived stress and depression symptoms (ß = .17, SE = .05, 95% CI [.10, .30]). Findings were consistent across self-harm outcomes (i.e., suicide ideation, nonsuicidal self-injury, and suicide attempts). This study elucidated novel processes from perceived COVID-19-related racial bias to self-harm outcomes via pandemic-related stress and depression symptoms. Findings inform culturally responsive interventions aimed at reducing self-harm in young adults faced with pervasive discrimination. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
