Police Killings and Their Spillover Effects on the Mental Health of Black Americans: A Population-Based, Quasi-Experimental Study

In this report, researchers examined data on police killings with individual-level data to estimate the impact of police killings of unarmed Black Americans on self-reported mental health of other Black American adults in the US general population. Results support the idea that police killings of unarmed Black Americans have adverse effects on mental health among Black American adults in the general population. Researchers also recommend implementing programs to decrease the frequency of police killings and to mitigate negative mental health effects within communities when such killings occur.
