• Interpreting psychological resilience in young African American women: a multilevel socioecological framework (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

  Public health research primarily interprets psychological resilience measures as indicators of individual adaptive capacity, with limited integration of sociological, historical, and developmental context. The existing literature lacks a socioecological framework that situates psychological resilience within patterned structural stress environments, culturally grounded resource systems, and life-course developmental contexts.

• Interpreting psychological resilience in young African American women: a multilevel socioecological framework (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

  Future research should engage with the proposed socioecological framework to refine the interpretation of psychological resilience in public health research involving young African American women. Future research should draw on multisystem resilience theory, African-centered psychology, Indigenous health scholarship, community-engaged research, and prior empirical findings.
