Abstract
Experiences of racial and ethnic discrimination are associated with increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Social distancing and school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic created barriers for students to remain connected to others. Latinx youth who are unable to connect with family, friends, and other support systems may be at a greater risk for negative mental health outcomes in the presence of discrimination. The current study investigated whether virtual connectedness (ie, time spent with support systems via technology) moderated the relationship between perceived racism and poor mental health.
