Dec 12, 2021

The American Psychological Association provides the Health Disparities and Stress Fact Sheet that discusses the following topics in greater depth:

  • Types of stress
  • How stress affects health
  • The role of chronic stressors in health disparities among different racial and ethnic groups
  • Acculturative stress
  • Socioeconomic, daily and family stress

Given the rise in home-based violence, the American Psychological Association has collaborated with other psychological associations across the world to create an evidence-based, action-oriented, multi-language resource that has been translated into 19 languages, World’s Psychological Associations Unite Against Home-based Violence During COVID-19.
