TL;DR: Evidence from this review highlights that the duration and timing of exposure to racial discrimination matters, and the need to gain evidence for the mechanisms linking early racism exposure to adverse health outcomes in later life is emphasised.

TL;DR: Exposure to racial discrimination in Aboriginal children increased the risk for a spectrum of interrelated psychological, behavioural and physiological factors linked to negative mental health.

TL;DR: Increased allostatic load is linked with racial discrimination exposure, providing a mechanism for the biological embedding of racism as a psychosocial stressor, and social and economic contexts must be considered when addressing the impact of racism.

TL;DR: Initial evidence indicates that first exposure to racism at these ages increases the likelihood of negative mental health relative to children without racism exposure, and longitudinal data extending from earlier to later developmental periods will allow further investigations into the presence of sensitive periods of Exposure to racism in these children.

TL;DR: In this paper, a latent class analysis identified four classes of multiple risk exposure for students and their families, including On Track (55%), Low Resources (22%), Child Concerns (15%), and Overwhelmed (7%), and negative binomial regression models with adjustment for misclassification probabilities were used to estimate the proportion of student absences associated with mental disorders.
