Mental health treatments currently available to address racial discrimination for 21 million youth of color are inadequate. Given the nascent but promising mechanisms found within behavioral health interventions via racial socialization, or the process through which children acquire knowledge about race, developing effective and scalable therapeutic strategies to contend with the stress from racism and discrimination is possible. We outline the active ingredients that facilitate behavioral change for youth psychosocial outcomes impacted by racial discrimination and describe how technology is being utilized for current and future implementation efforts. We argue that technological advancement, in addition to ecological considerations, is crucial for the reduction of structural and interpersonal risk factors negatively influencing the psychological wellness of youth of color. Technology integration across implementation and assessment will be critical, particularly given the potential for technology to further exacerbate mental health disparities.

Pivoting：用技术应对有色人种青年的心理健康需求


目前可用于解决 2100 万有色人种青年种族歧视的心理健康治疗不足。鉴于通过种族社会化的行为健康干预中发现的新兴但有前途的机制，或者儿童获得种族知识的过程，开发有效且可扩展的治疗策略来应对种族主义和歧视带来的压力是可能的。我们概述了促进受种族歧视影响的青少年社会心理结果的行为改变的活性成分，并描述了如何将技术用于当前和未来的实施工作。我们认为，除了生态考虑之外，技术进步对于减少对有色人种青年心理健康产生负面影响的结构性和人际风险因素至关重要。实施和评估之间的技术整合将至关重要，特别是考虑到技术可能会进一步加剧心理健康差异。
