Science, practice, and policy related to adverse childhood experiences: Framing the conversation.
Abstract: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) detrimentally affect health outcomes in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Over the past 2 decades, the recognition of ACEs by scientists and professionals across disciplines, policymakers, and the public has evolved and expanded. Although the initial articulation of ACEs in Felitti et al.'s landmark study has formed the basis of subsequent investigations on the long-term impact of childhood adversities on health and health risk behaviors, a wider public health framework, inclusive of psychology and other social sciences, also shapes current conceptualizations, research, practice, and policies. This article provides an overview of the special issue Adverse Childhood Experiences: Translating Research to Action. Given the rapid expansion and widespread application of ACEs, this special issue was developed to articulate critical concepts, to demonstrate the significance and relevance of psychological research and practice, and to catalyze further efforts to develop effective programs and policies informed by science. The 15 articles included reflect the continuum of critical work being conducted in research, practice, intervention and prevention programs, and public policy and serve to synthesize the growing body of empirical evidence. The overarching themes that emerged are framed as 3 essential questions: (a) How broadly should ACEs be defined?, (b) How should ACEs be assessed?, and (c) How can ACEs science translate into high quality services? As illustrated in these articles, policy and practice applications deriving from psychology as a hub science can substantially benefit the health and mental health of children, adolescents, and adults.
