“It’s Bad Enough I’m Black…but Disabled Too?!”: A Qualitative Exploration of After-COVID-19 Experiences for Black College Men Living with Disabilities

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of Black college men living with disabilities, namely ADHD and/or depression, as defined by DSM-5. Using naturalistic methods and a semi-structured interview protocol, we focused on understanding their experiences during the Great Pandemic (COVID-19) and the implications for campus support services in a post-COVID-19 era. The key implications for future research, policy, and practice are highlighted.
