            Exploring Risk and Resilience


            • Systemic and specific stresses faced by African Americans (and other

               members of the African Diaspora) have produced large, well-documented
               health disparities.

            • These acute and chronic adversities have also yielded survivors—persons

               who show evidence of ideal health despite transgenerational
               environmental, psychological and physiologic stressors.
