Abstract
Microaggressions were linked to subsequent changes in diurnal cortisol among African-American and Latino young adults. Given the rigorous within-person design, findings point to the importance and impact of subtle forms of discrimination on young adults' hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, which is theorized to underlie health and well-being.
