The reason for this study is to understand the use of Ethnic-Racial Socialization (ERS) practices among Black/African American parents or caregivers with their Black youth, ages 7 to 15, with neurodevelopmental disabilities (diagnosed or undiagnosed). The study will also examine the relation between parents' or caregivers' ERS practices and Black youth's racial and disability identity development, school engagement, school discipline, and mental health outcomes.
The first phase of this study will be parents completing questionnaires about their ethnic-racial socialization practices and demographic information, as well as a few items about their child. Their child will also answer some questions pertaining to the mental health outcomes and school engagement. This should take no more than 40 minutes to complete. We will follow up with families 1 year later to conduct focus group interviews to understand more deeply their ethnic-racial socialization practices. Focus group interviews should take no more than 45 minutes to complete.
$25 e-gift card for each phase; families can receive up to $50 in compensation
