Sanchez, Delida

Dr. Sanchez’s scholarship focuses on the effects of racism and health disparities on mental and behavioral health outcomes of diverse Black and Latinx adolescent and emerging adult populations. Central to her work is identifying and incorporating cultural-specific protective constructs into her research design and interventions to advance mental health and behavioral interventions for youth of color. Dr. Sanchez is collaborating on a multi-year NIH-R01 grant assessing current race-related stressors (COVID hardships, police interactions/ brutality, immigration policy), critical consciousness, and three domains of emotional and behavioral health (EBH): emotional well-being, mental health problems, and substance use among Baltimore City youth. The primary objective of this work is to optimize individual- and systems-level interventions to promote equity in well-being for youth of color using a strengths-based approach. Dr. Sanchez is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Latinx Psychology and on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Counseling Psychology and Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.
