SUMMARY: Anxiety, depression, 和心理困扰是18-29岁黑人新成年人群的公共健康问题, given their prevalence in this population. However, 我们很少有实证电子游戏正规平台来调查有警察使用武力史的黑人新成年人群中消极心理结果的患病率及其相关性. Thus, the current study examined the prevalence and correlates of depression, anxiety, 心理健康，以及它们在有直接或间接接触过警察使用武力的黑人新成年样本中的差异.

SUMMARY: 焦虑症是美国18至29岁黑人新成年人群中最普遍的疾病之一. Moreover, 一些有警察使用武力暴露史的黑人新生成人在(e)期间可能会出现警察接触焦虑(PCA)症状.g., unable to relax) or in anticipation of future police contacts (e.g., urge to avoid police), which may develop into an anxiety disorder. To explore this phenomenon, 目前的电子游戏正规平台评估了黑人新生成人PCA的患病率和相关症状.

SUMMARY: 有终身创伤经历的被监禁男性在治疗上存在显著差距. 一个针对被监禁女性的创伤干预的小型电子游戏正规平台基地正在兴起, but incarcerated men have largely been ignored. 男性占被监禁人口的90%，并且在释放后因新犯罪再次被捕的风险最大. One of the most overlooked, but highly influential, 曾被监禁的男子释放后预后不佳的因素是终身创伤经历导致的症状未得到解决. 对被监禁的男性的电子游戏正规平台表明，高达98%的人一生中至少有过一次创伤经历——许多人经历过多次创伤. With nearly 600,000 men releasing from incarceration each year, 迫切需要为被监禁的男性制定有针对性的干预措施. 我们的目标是推进该领域针对性别和监禁响应创伤干预方法.

SUMMARY: Black emerging adults ages 18–29, particularly those residing in predominantly black urban communities, are at risk for community violence exposure (CVE). 这一潜在的创伤性事件可能会诱发黑人新生成人的创伤性应激反应，从而导致他们参与暴力行为, 将药物使用和/或性冒险行为作为应对其经历的一种方式. 解决这些已确定的问题，并为未来的电子游戏正规平台提出建议, 本文确定并综合了调查CVE及其与暴力行为之间关系的电子游戏正规平台结果, substance use, and sexual risk-taking behaviors among black emerging adults.
