Notre laboratoire est engagé dans un certain nombre de projets, tous visant à mieux comprendre le risque, la résilience et le développement sain des jeunes et des familles minoritaires.
Étude sur la résistance des adolescents et la résilience culturelle (ARCR)
Statut : En cours
Le projet ARCR vise à recruter des dyades parents-adolescents noirs (13-17 ans) vivant dans la province de Québec. Ce projet vise à combiner des modèles longitudinaux et de journal quotidien pour examiner le développement des facteurs culturels et de la résilience face à la discrimination, la manière dont ces processus opèrent dans la vie quotidienne et leurs impacts à long terme sur le bien-être individuel et familial. Le recrutement de l'échantillon de base est en cours.

Neighborhoods to Neurons (N2N) is a project in collaboration with Dr. Anna Weinberg's TRAC Lab, as well as with Dr. Alexis Dennis (McGill Sociology) and Dr. Sam Nelson (McGill Religious Studies). N2N aims to characterize and quantify how neighborhood-level risk factors and markers of systemic racism exposure impact cognitive functioning and psychological health among Black families in the city of Montreal.​ Data are being collected by Decision Point Research.
This project is supported by a CONNECT grant from McGill Healthy Brains Healthy Lives.
Neighborhoods 2 Neurons (N2N)
Statut : Collecte de données en cours
The anti-racism measure project aims to marry community-engaged research methods and a review of existing measures of anti-racist activism to create a new, comprehensive measure of anti-racist activism among youth of colour using a large, nationally representative sample of Canadian emerging adults (18-25 years old) of colour. The development of the anti-racist activism scale (e.g., evaluating existing items, creating new items, etc.) is ongoing through a youth advisory board, in collaboration with the research team, comprised of 8-10 racially diverse young (18-25) anti-racism activists in Québec. The measure aims to incorporate content of the activism, means of activism (online vs in-person), and risk-level.
SONA Psychology Participant Pool
Status: Ongoing
Yearly data collection of mental health, racialized experiences, identity, and resilience among McGill students of colour. Total sample size across 22/23 and 23/24 academic years ~1,000.
We have recently conducted a qualitative focus group interview follow-up with 20 Asian McGill students asking about their experiences with online and vicarious racism. This qualitative study is led by graduate student Tripat Rihal.
Multiracial Teen Study
Status: Data Collection Completed Jul '24
This project of 300 Black-White and 300 Latine-White Biracial adolescents (13-17-years-old) from around the united states is aims to measure cultural risk and resilience processes using measures specifically adapted for Multiracial populations. This project was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Chelsea Williams (Virginia Commonwealth University) and Dr. Annabelle Atkin (Purdue University). Findings will serve as pilot data for collaborative grants on development and resilience in Multiracial populations.
Leger Study
Status: Data Collection Completed Feb '24
We worked with Leger Marketing to collect data from a national sample of 511 Black and Latinx young adults (age 18-34 at baseline) from across Canada. Participants were surveyed at baseline and every 3 months for the next year, resulting in 5 waves of data across a 12-month period. This project is intended to assess the short-term longitudinal effects of discrimination, internalized racism, coping, anti-racist action, and mental health among Black and Latinx Canadian young adults.
