Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Interactive Data: District Overview
What are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)?
ACEs are stressful events in a child's life that occur before they turn 18 that have potential to impact their future health and well-being.
In this module, we summarize eight thoroughly researched ACEs but acknowledge that many adverse experiences can rise to the level of an ACE and impact a child's future well-being. The ACEs we summarize are:
- Parental incarceration
- Alcohol misuse in the child's household
- Illegal drug use or misuse of prescription drugs in the child's household
- The struggle with depression and other mental illnesses in the child's household
- Emotional abuse
- Physical abuse
- Domestic violence
- Sexual abuse (of a relative or non-relative)
Data are hidden for groups of less than 20 students. If you select a district and can no longer see some or all graphs, it is because there are too few students to anonymously provide their data. To request this data in another format or to ask questions about the data you see, please email the ACEs prevention team at health.injuryprevention@state.mn.us.
