Discriminatory experiences can deteriorate mental health; however, resilience can potentially reduce the ill effects of discrimination by decreasing associated psychological distress.

In alignment with the advancement towards racial equity, reducing discrimination and fostering process-oriented resilience that is multilevel and multidimensional emerge as potential strategies to lessen the negative impacts on psychological well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40615-025-02559-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]],"date-time":"2025-07-29T15:48:49Z","timestamp":1753804129000},"page":"4088-4096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Resilience Mediates the Association Between Discrimination and Psychological Distress Among Rural, Black Women in South Carolina: A Structural Equation Model"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Camryn","family":"Garrett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhishek","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huiyi","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheuk Chi","family":"Tam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bankole","family":"Olatosi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Wilcox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1834-1834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shan","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"2559_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0138511","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0138511","volume":"10","author":"Y Paradies","year":"2015","unstructured":"Paradies Y, et al.
