Abstract
Objective: The present study examined the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) based on the intersectionality of sex, race/ethnicity, and household income.
Methods: The 2017-2018 National Survey of Children’s Health was used. Our sample was limited to parents/guardians of 12-17 aged adolescents (N = 21,496). Twenty mutually exclusive subgroups were created by sex, income, and race/ethnicity. In addition, the prevalence of individual and cumulative ACEs per each intersectional group was assessed.
Results: Specific intersectional groups including adolescents who are racial minorities and from low-income families were at increased risk of experiencing a higher number of ACEs. The top five highest prevalent groups for each ACE were identified, and results indicated that low-income groups, regardless of their race/ethnicity and sex, were at greater risk of belonging to the top five highest prevalent groups.
Conclusion: Specific intersectional groups were at a higher risk of reporting ACEs, which suggests that different individual characteristics, such as sex, race/ethnicity, and household income, create a disproportionate number of ACEs to occur. KCI Citation Count: 0
