USC study: Exposure to videos of race-based violence online may be spurring mental-health issues

(University of Southern California) Viral videos of the detainment of undocumented immigrants in cages and police killings of unarmed citizens are two of the most pressing traumatic events facing adolescents of color.

This study examines the association between exposure to such events online and mental health in a sample of African American and Latinx adolescents.
