The impact of adverse childhood experiences on an urban pediatric population - Full text

Chris Engel 11/29/127:30 PM

"Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in youth in a low-income, urban community....

Conclusions There was a significant prevalence of endorsed ACE categories in this urban population. Exposure to 4 or greater ACE categories was associated with increased risk for learning/behavior problems, as well as obesity.

Practice implications Results from this study demonstrate the need both for screening of ACEs among youth in urban areas and for developing effective primary prevention and intervention models."
