Felitti and colleagues1 first described ACEs and
defined it as exposure to psychological, physical or sexual

than half of respondents (52 %) experienced at least one adverse childhood event.1 Since the original cohort, ACE exposures have been investigated globally revealing comparable prevalence to the original cohort.4 5 More recently in 2014, a survey of 4000 American children found that 60.8 % of children had at least one form of direct experience of violence, crime or
abuse.6 The ACE study precipitated interest in the health conditions of adults maltreated as children as it revealed links to chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung and liver diseases, and cancer in adulthood.1 Since then, further evidence has revealed relationships between ACEs and physical and mental health outcomes, such as increased risk of substance
abuse, suicide and premature mortality.4 7
An estimated 1,560 children died because of maltreatment, with the highest rates of victimization in the first year of life — 20.6 per 1,000 children.1 Research demonstrates that outcomes for children who survive child maltreatment (

than expected productivity of adult survivors of
abuse are estimated at as much as $ 50 - 90 billion per year in the U.S. 5,6 These findings underscore the need for strategies to prevent child maltreatment in order to improve outcomes for children, families and communities.
