Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic life events that are linked to more than 40 poor adult health outcomes. Up to two-thirds of drug use problems may be traced back to ACEs [1]. Investing in the resiliency of our children is an important component of a comprehensive approach to the opioid epidemic.
