The underrepresentation of Black youth in high-achieving academic settings places significant importance on examining their daily experiences. This study investigated the relationship between school discrimination, well-being in academic settings, the risk for anxiety and depression, and school mental health help-seeking intentions. Participants included 110 Black high school students (66% women; mean age = 15.67) attending a special-admissions public school who participated in their school universal mental health screening. Black high school students in this high achieving context experienced few occurrences of school discrimination, yet these experiences still significantly impacted their internalizing severity. The mediation analyses revealed that experiences of discrimination predicted lower levels of academic efficacy and school connectedness, which predicted higher levels of internalizing symptoms. Experiences of discrimination were not related to mental health help-seeking at school. However, Black youth's intentions to seek mental health services at school were low, regardless of discriminatory experiences, as evidenced by the percentage of universal screening dissent and their self-reported plans to seek support. The findings highlight the need to consider Black adolescents' experiences in high achieving schools when engaged in universal mental health screening and individual and school-wide mental health prevention efforts.

黑人青少年在学校的心理健康、福祉和求助：歧视在成绩优异的学术环境中的作用

在成绩优异的学术环境中，黑人青年的代表性不足，因此检查他们的日常经历非常重要。这项研究调查了学校歧视、学术环境中的幸福感、焦虑和抑郁的风险以及学校心理健康寻求帮助的意图之间的关系。参与者包括 110 名在特殊招生公立学校就读的黑人高中生（66% 为女性；平均年龄 = 15.67），他们参加了学校普遍的心理健康筛查。在这种高成就背景下，黑人​​高中生很少发生学校歧视，但这些经历仍然显着影响了他们的内化严重程度。中介分析显示，歧视经历预示着较低水平的学业效率和学校联系，这预测了更高水平的内化症状。歧视经历与在学校寻求心理健康帮助无关。然而，无论是否有歧视经历，黑人青年在学校寻求心理健康服务的意愿都很低，普遍筛查异议的百分比和他们自我报告的寻求支持的计划就证明了这一点。调查结果强调，在参与普遍心理健康筛查以及个人和学校范围内的心理健康预防工作时，需要考虑黑人青少年在成绩优异的学校中的经历。不管歧视性经历如何，普遍筛选异议的百分比和他们自我报告的寻求支持的计划就证明了这一点。调查结果强调，在参与普遍心理健康筛查以及个人和学校范围内的心理健康预防工作时，需要考虑黑人青少年在成绩优异的学校中的经历。不管歧视性经历如何，普遍筛选异议的百分比和他们自我报告的寻求支持的计划就证明了这一点。调查结果强调，在参与普遍心理健康筛查以及个人和学校范围内的心理健康预防工作时，需要考虑黑人青少年在成绩优异的学校中的经历。
