Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) disproportionately impact African Americans because of profound subjection to historical-systemic oppression in addition to personal and intergenerational trauma exposure. This article utilizes a biopsychosocial-cultural framework to understand the correlates of ACE exposure in African Americans and attends to the cultural factors that contribute to resilience. We review the evidence base for culturally informed, preventive-interventions, as well as strategies for bolstering this work by capitalizing on cultural strengths that are salient in the African American community. We also highlight pertinent policy initiatives guided by recent strategic outlines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These policies provide the backdrop for the recommendations offered to facilitate the healthy biopsychosocial development of individuals and families. These recommendations can contribute to the expansion and creation of new policies that aim to strengthen individual coping in the face of adversity, enhance family bonds and resilience, and promote community capacity to reduce ACE exposure in African Americans.

非裔美国人的不良童年经历：框架、实践和政策。

不良童年经历 (ACE) 对非裔美国人的影响尤为严重，因为除了个人和代际创伤暴露之外，他们还深受历史系统压迫。本文利用生物心理社会文化框架来了解非裔美国人接触 ACE 的相关性，并关注有助于恢复力的文化因素。我们回顾了文化知情、预防性干预的证据基础，以及通过利用非裔美国人社区中突出的文化优势来支持这项工作的策略。我们还强调了以疾病控制和预防中心最近的战略大纲为指导的相关政策举措。这些政策为促进个人和家庭健康的生物心理社会发展的建议提供了背景。这些建议有助于扩大和制定新政策，旨在加强个人在逆境中的应对能力，增强家庭纽带和复原力，并提高社区减少非裔美国人接触 ACE 的能力。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
