Participants included youth aged 13 to 18 years, restricted to Black, Hispanic, and White youth due to power limitations.

Similar patterns were noted by parental educational attainment: the cumulative hazard of parental death for youth of parents with less educational attainment was nearly double (10.1%; 95% CI, 8.1%-12.6%) compared with youth of parents with more education (6.6%; 95% CI, 5.2%-8.4%). Death of a parent was positively and significantly associated with risk of any lifetime psychiatric disorder (aOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.03-1.75) compared with youth who had not experienced death of a parent. However, this association was not moderated by race and ethnicity (aOR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.58-1.92) or parental educational attainment (aOR, 1.19; 95%, 0.70-2.04), although power analyses suggest that larger sample sizes are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>In this cross-sectional study, Black and Hispanic youth experienced elevated parental death compared with White youth, yet the risk for any lifetime psychiatric disorder after parental death was not significantly moderated by race and ethnicity or parental education. Both individual- and population-level interventions may be needed to address the increased risk of psychiatric disorders, although additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.39616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]],"date-time":"2022-10-31T15:33:17Z","timestamp":1667230397000},"page":"e2239616","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Social Determinants Associated With Exposure to Childhood Parental Bereavement and Subsequent Risk for Psychiatric Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Christy A.","family":"Denckla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie M.","family":"Averkamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Slopen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Lucia","family":"Espinosa Dice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Department of Sociology, Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Cambridge, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
