A conceptualization of racism-related stress and its impact on well-being
is offered that integrates existing theory and research on racism, multicultural
mental health, and the stress process. The conceptualization is relevant
to diverse racial/ethnic groups, considers the larger social and historical
context, and incorporates attention to culture-based variables that may
mediate the relationship between racism and well-being. Implications for
intervention are discussed.
