Racial disparities in the prevalence and clinical characteristics of psychotic disorders are well documented. Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are subthreshold psychotic symptoms in the absence of overt psychotic illness that are nevertheless distressing and associated with negative outcomes. In the general population, racially and ethnically minoritized individuals are more likely to report PLEs compared to White individuals, consistent with the disparities in psychosis diagnosis.1 However, our understanding of the factors driving observed differences in PLEs is limited. Most of the published research on PLEs has been in adolescents and adults, whereas less is known about racial/ethnic differences in PLEs in children. A better understanding of the factors that drive the racial/ethnic differences in these experiences could inform development of culturally responsive, preventative interventions to mitigate disparities.
