ABSTRACT
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which can include abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual), neglect (emotional and physical), and household dysfunction, are common among children [1]. In 2010 alone, maltreatment was reported for 695,000 US children (9.2 per 1000 children) [2]. In the largest study of ACEs, over 60% of 17,337 adults reported a history of at least one ACE [3].
