There is increasing scientific evidence linking substance use, childhood adversity, and social determinants of health. However, little research has considered the evaluation of community‐level strategies to reduce substance use by increasing awareness and implementation of evidence‐based strategies for preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). This article lays out the conceptual framework for a $2.9 million demonstration project designed to raise awareness of the impact of ACEs on substance use, including primary prevention strategies. Communities used transformational narrative change—with an emphasis on the voices of those most impacted by ACEs and substance use—to highlight the importance of addressing social determinants of health along with primary prevention strategies. The conceptual background highlighted in this article informed media, public health, and local efforts in the three accompanying articles and invited commentary. These findings may help inform future efforts to promote community‐level strategies and strengthen the evidence‐base for transformational narrative change efforts. Highlights: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and substance use are linked by shared risk and protective factors.Promote community‐level strategies and strengthen the evidence base for narrative change efforts.Transformational narrative change as a strategy for prevention of ACEs and substance use.
