Penelitian ini meneliti hubungan antara adverse childhood experiences (ACE) dan perilaku promosi kesehatan pada mahasiswa Jabodetabek di masa pandemi Covid-19. Perilaku promosi kesehatan adalah berbagai tindakan yang secara sadar dilakukan individu untuk meningkatkan kondisi fisik dan mental serta terhindar dari penyakit. Perilaku ini terdiri dari 6 dimensi yaitu aktivitas fisik, nutrisi, tanggung jawab kesehatan, hubungan interpersonal, manajemen stres, dan pertumbuhan spiritual. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) adalah pengalaman tidak menguntungkan di bawah usia 18 tahun yang berpotensi traumatis. ACE terdiri dari 3 tipe, yaitu kekerasan, pengabaian, dan tantangan rumah tangga. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode korelasional. Perilaku promosi kesehatan dan ACE mahasiswa Jabodetabek (N = 170) diukur menggunakan Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) dan ACE-Questionnaire (ACE-Q). Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara total keseluruhan skor perilaku promosi kesehatan dan ACE (r (170) = -,055, > 0,05, two tails). Lebih lanjut, terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan pada dua dimensi perilaku promosi kesehatan yaitu hubungan interpersonal (r (170) = -0,181, p < 0,05, two tails) dan pertumbuhan spiritual (r(170) = -0,167, p < 0,05, two tails) dengan tipe ACE pengabaian.
