Abstract in brief

  • The study estimates the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the US using data from 23 states collected between 2011 and 2014, involving over 248,000 adults.
  • Results show that more than half of respondents experienced at least one ACE, with about 24.6% reporting three or more ACEs, especially among certain groups like racial minorities, those with lower education, and lower income.
  • Higher ACE exposure is linked to factors like race, socioeconomic status, and education level, highlighting that early adversity is common and varies across different populations.]
