Brief Summary:
The project aims to evaluate a brief intervention for coping with racism-related experiences for people of color and examine momentary factors that may buffer the negative mental health impact of racism
Detailed Description:
This study focuses on the unique experiences of people of color eg Asian American BlackAfrican American Latinx Native Multiracial ways they manage coping with race-related stress as well as evaluating the effectiveness of a brief one-hour intervention focused on coping with racism First the study will evaluate the acceptability and impact of a brief single-session 1-hour intervention aimed at addressing strategies for coping with racism compared to a waitlist-control condition The intervention will integrate culturally-adapted approaches for enhancing compassionate awareness emotional acceptance valued actions and coping flexibility CAAVAF The study will also evaluate whether the brief CAAVAF program will be associated with increased use of CAAVAF strategies compassionate awareness emotional acceptance valued action and coping flexibility in response to racial discrimination over time and whether the brief CAAVAF program improves mental health outcomes at the two-week follow-up Second the study aims to evaluate the impact of CAAVAF strategies on mental health outcomes in response to momentary reports of coping with discrimination and from pre- to two-week follow-up
All participants will be asked to complete an online screening questionnaire which will include informed consent demographic questionnaires past experiences of discrimination and trait measures of coping Participants will be randomized into a a CAAVAF program b a waitlist control condition with EMA or c a control condition without the CAAVAF program or EMA Participants in the CAAVAF condition will watch a scripted CAAVAF psychoeducation video during an initial laboratory session in contrast participants in the waitlist control condition will watch the video in a second session after two weeks of ecological momentary assessment Participants in both the CAAVAF program and waitlist control condition will be given instructions on using an EMA cellphone application during the initial session for repeated momentary assessments Following this session participants in the EMA conditions will monitor their experiences of discrimination over two weeks and report their mood and strategies used Participants will then return to the lab and complete a final battery of questionnaires and a qualitative exit-interview Participants in the control condition will only complete pre questionnaires and questionnaires at a two-week follow-upStudy findings will contribute to the existing literature by evaluating whether CAAVAF strategies are effective buffers against racism-related mental health outcomes and whether our CAAVAF and EMA program facilitates the use of these strategies
