Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how African American young adults think about health and wellness in relation to their family and childhood experiences and how those experiences impact their perceptions of health and wellness in young adulthood. Twenty-five African American young adults participated in the study. Data collection took place at a Historically Black College. Physical, mental, and spiritual health were all included as contributing factors to living a healthy lifestyle. Further family and school experiences were cited as influences on health in wellness during childhood. The study concluded that childhood and family experiences do indeed impact perceptions of health and wellness in young adulthood.
