Method : We used data from the cross-sectional Survey of the Health of Urban Residents (SHUR) in the United States ( N = 623). Controlling for sociodemographic and health characteristics, we regressed depressed mood and generalized anxietyonpolicebrutality.Toassesswhetherheightenedvigilancemediatestherelationshipbetweenpolice brutalityandmentalhealth,wecomputedthedirecteffectsofpolicebrutalityandindirecteffects(through heightened vigilance) on depression and anxiety. Results : Over half of the sample reported experiencing police brutality. Both police brutality and heightened vigilance were associated with depressed mood and generalized anxiety. Heightened vigilance explained 11% of the total effect of police brutality on depressed mood and 21% of the total effect of police brutality on generalized anxiety. Conclusions : Police brutality is associated with negative mental health outcomes among Black people. As clinicians work to provide assessment,diagnosis,andtreatment services,theyshouldbe aware that Blackpatients mightface increased risk for depression and anxiety because of heightened vigilance and police brutality.
