,What was the purpose of the ACES study? ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓to explore the
relationship of health risk behavior and disease in adulthood to the breadth of exposure to
childhood emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, and household dysfunction

- the most prevalent was substance abuse in the household (25.6%) and the least prevalent was
evidence of criminal behavior in the household (3.4%)
- More than half of the respondents experienced >1 (or equal to) category of adverse childhood
exposure
- 6.2% reported >4 (or equal to) exposures
- just having one ACE, made it more likely for secondary exposure
- significantly fewer categories of exposure were found among older persons, white or Asian
persons, and college graduates (adjusting for age)
Implications of the ACE study ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓- prevalence and risk increased for
smoking, severe obesity, physical inactivity, depressed mood, and suicide attempts as the # of
childhood exposures increased (dose-response relationship)
- as the # of childhood exposures increased, the prevalence and risk of alcoholism and use of
illicit drugs, >50 (or equal to) intercourse partners, and sexually transmitted diseases
Updated data CDC BRFSS 2017 ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓- 58% of respondents reported
