Abstract

Young Black men in America experience increased vulnerability to health disparities due to the continued exposure to oppression in the Black community. This pilot study examined the influence of reflective practices in mitigating adverse health outcomes, specifically looking at the relationships among self-reflection, insight, and resilience in young Black men. Flyers and snowball sampling were used to recruit a sample of young Black men (n = 89) between 18 and 40 from the northeastern United States.
