This study describes the findings from a meta-synthesis of qualitative research on Black men\u2019s mental health and well-being using Paterson, Thorne, Canam, and Jillings\u2019s qualitative meta-study approach. Though previous studies have reported various forms of racism as salient concerns for Black men\u2019s mental health and well-being, findings from this meta-study revealed seven themes that present an initial step toward advancing the knowledge pertaining to how Black men perceive and express their mental health and well-being. For instance, male gender socialization and economic status were found to play as large a role in Black men\u2019s mental health and well-being as racism. Additional theoretical perspectives are proposed, and implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Link to full article:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0095798409353756<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watkins, D.
