abstract="<b>Objective:</b> Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may be detrimental to health, yet are understudied in Asians/Pacific Islanders (API). We described the prevalence of individual ACEs among API college students compared to White college students. <b>Participants:</b> College students (<i>n</i> = 8,472) from 17 Minnesota postsecondary institutions completed the College Student Health Survey in spring 2015. <b>Methods:</b> Students self-reported on 11 ACEs. We assessed differences in prevalence of individual ACEs between APIs and Whites. <b>Results:</b> APIs were more likely to report having been physically abused (adj. OR = 2.04), verbally abused (adj. OR = 1.25), and raped (adj. OR = 1.75) relative to Whites. Stratification by sex showed API males were more likely to have been sexually abused relative to White males, with additional ACEs differing significantly by sex and race. <b>Conclusions:</b> Individual ACE prevalence differed between APIs and Whites and is often sex-specific. Additional research is needed to estimate ACE prevalence in other racial/ethnic groups and their health impacts.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
