of 9508 American adults, more 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

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 life, not by review
