Racial disparities must be addressed in every sector in the United States (e.g., healthcare, education, incarceration, etc.) (Skiba et al., 2001).

To clarify the PYD model, this study assessed intraindividual change in…

Compared to families where parents are of two different single-race backgrounds, parental…
