- This study examined the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among children in civilian, active-duty, and Veteran families using a national sample of 56,655 children. Parents reported on 9 ACEs their child may have experienced (e.g., witnessing abuse, parental substance use, divorce), as well as child factors (e.g., mental health) and family factors (e.g., family structure). Both similarities and differences in the prevalence of ACEs emerged across groups.
