冠状病毒，也被称为COVID-19，对世界经济，健康，工业，教育和社会体系造成了严重破坏。尽管美国数百万人感受到了冠状病毒的影响，但本文将重点关注COVID-19对非洲裔美国人的影响，通过家庭压力理论的透镜对其进行研究。这一重点是故意的，因为与其他种族群体相比，非洲裔美国人感染和死于病毒的比例高得不成比例，更有可能贫穷，被雇用为低收入服务工作的基本工人，这大大增加了他们感染和死于病毒的风险，身体健康状况不佳。除了上述，这项工作将讨论如何McCubbin和帕特森（1982）双ABC-X模型的家庭压力的各个组成部分涉及到非裔美国人的身体，心理和情绪健康。除了突出黑人独特的压力源，这项工作将为研究人员和从业人员提供未来的方向。
The Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19 has wrecked havoc on the world's economy, health, industry, education, and social systems. While the impact of the Coronavirus is being felt by millions of individuals in the United States, this manuscript will focus on the impact of COVID-19 on African Americans, examining it through the lens of family stress theory. This focus is deliberate because when compared to other racial groups, African Americans have a disproportionately higher rate of contracting and dying from the virus, are more likely to be poor, be employed as essential workers in low-paying service jobs that substantially increases their risk of contracting and dying from the virus, and experience poor physical health. In addition to the aforementioned, this work will discuss how various components of McCubbin and Patterson's (1982) Double ABC-X Model of family stress relates to the physical, mental, and emotional health of African Americans. In addition to highlighting the unique stressors of Blacks, this work will provide future directions for researchers and practitioners.
