Research has shown that Latino/a/x students attending predominately white institutions experience discrimination, negatively impacting their mental health. Correlation data was analyzed to highlight how these microaggressions affect mental health outcomes among Latino/a/x students (N = 169; M(SD)age = 20.01(1.12); 72% female). Significant correlations were detected between microaggressions, depression, anxiety, and stress. Based on these findings, culturally-tailored interventions should be created to improve the college experience and mental health of Latino/a/x students.
