Bias-based bullying reflects structural oppression and is known to be particularly detrimental to marginalized youth. Young people with multiple stigmatized social identities may face a combination of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other marginalization, and a deeper understanding of disparities in emotional distress requires an intersectional approach. This presentation will describe an ongoing program of research that uses large and diverse population-based samples of adolescents and recommended statistical approaches to explore these health disparities and the distinct contribution of bias-based bullying.
Attendees will be able to:
- Understand the nature of bias-based bullying as a reflection of structural oppression.
- Consider an application of the intersectionality framework to adolescent emotional distress.
- Learn a decision tree approach and its application for questions of health disparities using an intersectionality framework.
- Recognize the distinct contribution of bias-based bullying to disparities in emotional distress among adolescents.
