Popis:	Previous research suggests that rural Latinx youth are more likely to experience traumatic events and are at higher risk for developing subsequent psychopathology compared to non-Latinx white youth. The aim of this study is to understand how family processes and values affect risk for internalizing and externalizing symptoms among rural Latinx youth (N = 648, mage = 15.7 (SD = 1.2)) who are exposed to trauma. Multiple mediation analyses were performed to understand if family variables such as familism and family conflict explain the relationship between trauma exposure and psychopathology. Results suggest that familism partially mediates the relationship between trauma exposure and internalizing and externalizing symptoms, whereas family conflict partially mediates the relationship between trauma exposure and externalizing symptoms. These findings show that family variables are differentially impacted by trauma and have a separate and unique impact on mental health outcomes among rural Latinx youth. Specifically, our findings suggest that familial support or closeness may constitute a nonspecific protective factor for psychopathology among Latinx youth, whereas family conflict creates a stressful home environment that may deter adolescent trauma recovery and lead specifically to externalizing symptoms.
