Childhood adversity among Black children: The role of supportive neighborhoods

Children and Youth Services Review, 2019, vol. 105, issue C, -

Abstract: The relationship between adverse childhood experiences and increased risk of negative health outcomes in adulthood is well established. Previous ACEs research on subgroups has focused on differences between racial/ethnic groups or differences between the sexes. Few studies have taken an intersectional approach and studied ACEs and related outcomes by race/ethnicity and sex among children. Because ACEs occur at the individual, family, and community-level, approaches to preventing and mitigating ACEs must be multilevel as well. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining sex differences in the prevalence of ACEs, the types of ACEs experienced, and the effect of neighborhood characteristics on the prevalence of ACEs among Black children.
