The current study examined how COVID-19 worry about mental health (CWMH) and COVID-19 worry about physical health (CWPH) predicted use of face masks, and whether perceived discrimination moderated these relations. The sample included 164 Black American emerging adults, age 18–25 (M = 8.82, SD = 2.06). Findings indicated that perceived discrimination was a moderator, such that at higher levels of discrimination, CWMH predicted use of face masks, but this relation was not significant at lower levels of discrimination. CWPH did not predict use of face masks, and perceived discrimination was not a moderator of this relation. Overall, considering the role of race-related experiences and CWMH is important for understanding the use of face masks among Black Americans.
