Every month, she posts summaries of the abstracts and links to research articles that address only PACEs. Here are 4 of the 25 that she found for this week. You can read them all here ([link removed]) .

The intersection of adverse childhood experiences and neighborhood determinants of health: An exploratory spatial analysis. ([link removed])
Psychol Trauma. 2022 Jul 14:10.1037/tra0001320. PMID: 35834220 ([link removed])
From a survey of 1679 Philadelphia adults, and linking other data spatially, “Individuals with ≥ 4 ACEs lived in neighborhoods with higher neighborhood poverty rates, less socioeconomic resources, worse food access, poorer perceived physical and mental health, more substance overdose deaths, higher crime, and less green space…Findings suggest future work may benefit from considering neighborhood environments when examining and intervening upon the association between ACEs and poor physical and psychological health.”

Child Deaths by Gun Violence in the US During the COVID-19 Pandemic. ([link removed])
JAMA Netw Open. 2022 Aug 1;5(8):e2225339. PMID: 35925607 ([link removed])
Using data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), a repository of gun violence collected from more than 7500 law enforcement, media, government, and commercial sources, from January 2014 to December 2022, “Overall, 8044 shootings were analyzed and involved 8477 children killed. Of these 8477 children, 22.3% were aged 0 to 11 years and 77.7% were 12 to 17 years; 19.6% were girls, 78.8% were boys, and 1.7% had unknown gender. 58.0% were from a high-minority area (defined as having more than 50% Black or Hispanic population). An increase in deaths was observed from March 16, 2020 onwards.

Potential Points of Intervention to Minimize the Impact of Parents' Adverse Childhood Experiences on Child Mental Health. ([link removed])
J Dev Behav Pediatr. 2023;44(1):e24-e31. PMID: 36563343 ([link removed])
“Parents with high ACEs but who have good mental health [MH] and positive parenting behaviors demonstrated no impact of their ACEs on their children's mental health. Providing MH care to parents and parenting programs may be strategies for improving children's MH. Parenting behavior assessment is recommended for clinicians when pediatric patients present with MH concerns.”
Arayasirikul S, Turner CM, Hernandez CJ, et al.
Transphobic Adverse Childhood Experiences as a Determinant of Mental and Sexual Health for Young Trans Women in the San Francisco Bay Area. ([link removed])
Transgend Health. 2022;7(6):552-5. PMID: 36518300 ([link removed])
“A survey was administered between 2012 and 2014 to 300 YTW [young trans women] aged 16-24 living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our study showed that YTW were highly impacted by ACEs during their childhood, including physical and verbal transphobic abuse. The ACE measurements in our study correlated to a host of mental health conditions and unsafe sexual practices. There is a need to understand how ACEs specifically impact trans women separately from other sexual and gender minorities…to help address the factors that lead YTW to be disproportionately affected by substance use, mental health conditions, homelessness, and HIV.
