| Popis: | BackgroundMental health is a serious public health concern that is uniquely devastating for African American families.ObjectiveThis study systematically critiques the body of work documenting the mediating role of social support and neighborhood context on the psychological well-being of African American families.MethodsThis review used the PRISMA multistate process.FindingsSeveral important findings are drawn from this study: a) social support and neighborhood context shape psychological well-being, b) existing studies are limited in capacity to capture context despite having contextualized frameworks, c) African centered theory is missing.ConclusionsSocial support and neighborhood context matter. Future researchers must employ methods to capture this context and the link to mental health in African American communities where disproportionate risks exist. |
