About The Study: This cross-sectional study reveals an encouraging positive shift in the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among U.S. children during the study period of 2016 to 2023. The upward trends in the proportion of individuals reporting 0 ACEs suggest a growing societal recognition of the importance of healthy and nurturing environments for children. Conversely, the decrease in the prevalence of 4 or more ACEs highlights a reduction in severe ACEs, particularly among other racial and ethnic groups and those from low-income families.
