Race-Related Stress
editRace related stress has been a topic of research in psychology and sociology for decades. However, relatively little has been done to apply measures of race-related stress in clinical work. This is not because the topic is unimportant. Far from it: race-related stress may be a factor that adds to overall stress and anxiety[1], it may be a target for intervention in its own right, and it is likely to affect the process of working together clinically, potentially changing perceptions about therapeutic alliance and support[2]. It is easy to see how race-related stress would be a valuable topic for research that could rapidly translate into useful tools for clinical work.
This page is a place to gather information and links to the existing measures, and start thinking through their strengths and limitations. We also will start to map the different tools to various aspects of EBA (the 3 Ps), and brainstorm ideas about next steps in terms of research and clinical application.
