Conclusions: Persistent associations of racial discrimination with depressive symptoms and sleep problems reflect a lasting impact of racial discrimination.

Belief in the American Indian/Alaska Native biological vulnerability myth and drinking to cope: Does stereotype threat play a role?
Conclusion: Belief in the BV myth may act as a type of stereotype threat, contributing to alcohol consequences by increasing negative affect and drinking to cope.
