County-level Child ACE Estimates Synthetic estimates generated from 2011/12 NSCH data set and 2010 Kids Count population estimates

Correlating ACEs with Home Environment (AZ) For all children, hours spent playing videogames and watching TV was significantly related to ACE scores. For all children, BMI and ADHD medication were significantly related to ACE scores For all children, having a physically ill parent was significantly related to ACE score For 6-17 year olds, school problems were significantly related to ACE scores. The higher a child’s ACE score, the more days of school were missed and the more disengaged children were with school. What home environment conditions would give rise to these connections?

Correlating ACEs with Social Environment (AZ) For all children, poverty and living in an unsupportive neighborhood were significantly related to ACE scores. The higher a child’s ACE score, the more impoverished a family was and fewer social supports were available in their neighborhood. Neighborhood items: – People in my neighborhood help each other. – We watch out for each other’s children in my neighborhood. – There are people I can count on in my neighborhood. – If my children were playing outside and got hurt or scared, there are adults nearby who I trust to help my child.
