• Description:
  With recent increases in adolescents' use of the Internet and social media, exposure to online racism and race-based violence has emerged as a critical public health concern. Recent studies have found that 45% to 94% of adolescents report exposure to online racism,
  
  which includes being a direct target of race-based discrimination or being exposed to others' experiences of racism (ie, vicarious exposure
  
  ). Exposure to online racism among adolescents is associated with greater symptoms of depression and anxiety and lower academic self-efficacy.
  
  Theory and prior research indicates that Black adolescents in particular experience higher levels of distress and mental health symptoms from exposure to anti-Black racism compared with White adolescents.
  
  Although prior research has found that exposure to racism is associated with substance use,
  
  gaps persist in the literature regarding the associations between online racism and substance use in adolescents.
