Overview

Randomized trial investigates the link between parental ethnic‐racial socialization and physiological stress in minority youth, suggesting potential mental health implications.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the relationship between parental ethnic‐racial socialization and youth's chronic physiological stress.
  • Participants included 48 Black and 38 Latino youth aged 12.18 years on average.
  • Parents reported ethnic‐racial socialization in terms of enculturation and preparation for bias.
  • Youth's hair samples were collected and analyzed for hair cortisol concentrations.
  • Parental enculturation was significantly associated with lower levels of hair cortisol concentration.
  • Higher levels of ethnic‐racial socialization correlated with reduced physiological stress in youth.
