| Abstract: | Racial discrimination is linked with unfavorable mental health outcomes among racial/ethnic minority college students. Objective/Participants. This study examines associations between racial/ethnic discrimination experiences and emotional well-being and potential protective factors among a sample of Hispanic/Latinx college students (N = 1,567, ages 19–22; 73.8% female). Methods. Secondary data analysis was utilized to examine experiences of discrimination based on race/ethnicity, well-being outcomes, and protective factors. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the impact of experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination on the well-being outcomes. Results. Hispanic/Latinx students reported racial/ethnic discrimination experiences that were associated with poorer well-being outcomes; protective factors such as social support and belonging were associated with well-being. Conclusion. These outcomes highlight the need to continue efforts to address racial/ethnic discrimination experiences for Hispanic/Latinx students and to develop and integrate prevention and treatment interventions in colleges to improve services and mitigate the negative impact on student well-being.
