Figure 2. Effects of racial disparities in adversity on race-related differences in brain structure.

Figure 2.

Standardized estimates were calculated from the parallel mediation analyses for differences in gray matter volume (GMV) between Black American and White American children before (Total Effect) and after (Direct Effect) accounting for disparities in sociodemographic factors. Panel A provides a graphical representation of estimates where White > Black (warm colors) and Black > White (cool colors) before (top) and after (bottom) accounting for racial disparities. Panel B shows a plot of the Standardized estimates (dots) per region for the total (green) and direct (orange) effects on GMV data. Bars represent the 95% confidence interval for the effect.
