“…Using an adult sample ( n = 34,653), authors examined the association between physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, physical and emotional neglect, and substance use (alcohol, sedatives, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, amphetamine, cannabis, heroin, hallucinogens, and nicotine), finding that these five types of adverse experiences were associated with an increase in the problematic use in both men and women, except for physical neglect and heroin use in men and emotional neglect and amphetamine and cocaine use in men [ 22 ]. These findings are in line with previous studies that highlight the effect of abuse experiences in childhood, which have been shown to be significantly associated with the use of psychoactive drugs in adult women and men [ 24 ]. In this line of research, the authors studied the link between ACEs and alcohol use in a sample of 7279 subjects, also analyzing the moderating role of psychological stress in men and women [ 25 ].…”

“…These findings are supported by the literature and prior research, which indicate that experiences of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect and household dysfunctions, are strong predictors of the development of mental health disorders and risk behaviors [ 11 , 42 ]. With respect to substance use problems, as prior research shows, early adversities are associated with a greater vulnerability to emotional dysregulation and problematic use, especially when children experience abuse, household dysfunctions, and violence [ 22 , 24 , 43 ]. This is consistent with the significant associations found in the full sample, regarding experiences of sexual abuse, living with someone with severe mental health problems, bullying, and collective and community violence.…”

Studies conducted worldwide indicate that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are among the most intense and frequent sources of stress, considerably influencing mental and physical health while also resulting in risk behaviors in adulthood. Methodology: We used data from the Pilot National Survey of Adversity and Sexual Abuse in Childhood (2020), conducted by CUIDA UC, which comprises the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire [ACE-IQ] (Adapted). The cross-sectional methodology used made it possible to directly calculate the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences in the population sampled, at a single point in time. We performed a bivariate and univariate descriptive analysis, a correlation analysis, and a multivariate analysis, all of which will be detailed in the section entitled “General Data Analysis Procedure”. Results: We found equally high rates of adverse childhood experiences in men and women, with community violence exhibiting the highest prevalence. We found significant low- to moderate-sized associations between the multiple types of ACEs considered and mental health problems, substance use problems, criminal behaviors, and intrafamily violence (IFV), which differed between men and women. Significant correlations were detected between the ACE score and mental health, substance use, criminal behaviors, and IFV in both men and women. Importantly, ACEs were found to be predictors of all of these variables, with differences observed between men and women. Conclusions: Nearly all participants reported having had at least one ACE and more than half reported had four or more ACEs. Those who had had four or more ACEs were more likely to report problems throughout their life. Having an ACE of any type was found to be a better predictor of mental health problems and IFV in men than in women and might be a stronger risk factor for substance use and criminal behaviors in women than in men.

“…En Latinoamérica se ha empleado la escala ACE en países como Colombia en estudios con niños víctimas de violencia; estos estudios han sido realizados por Jarero, Roque-López, Gómez, y Givaudan [ 19] . Además, Silveira y Abelha [ 18] lo han aplicado en Brasil y en Nicaragua, en tanto que Solórzano et al [ 20] lo utilizó en su estudio orientado a analizar la relación entre trauma infantil y adicciones. En los repositorios digitales de las universidades en Ecuador, se encontró que el cuestionario ACE ha sido empleado en una disertación de pregrado [21].…”

INTRODUCCIÓN. El presente artículo analiza los vínculos de apego inseguro con los padres y/o cuidadores primarios y las experiencias de trauma infantil, como factores que incrementan el riesgo de conducta suicida en adolescentes. OBJETIVO. El objetivo fue explorar la relación de las experiencias tempranas de apego inseguro y de trauma infantil, con el comportamiento de riesgo suicida en un grupo de 10 adolescentes de 13 a 18 años, pacientes del Hospital General Enrique Garcés de Quito, Ecuador. MÉTODO. Se utilizó una metodología mixta que incluía una entrevista semiestructurada a los adolescentes participantes sobre sus intentos de suicidio, así como dos instrumentos de medición: el Cuestionario ACE (Experiencias Infantiles Adversas) y el ASA (Attachment Script Assessment). RESULTADOS. Respecto de las experiencias de trauma infantil en la población estudiada, se encontró que los factores de riesgo más significativos son el maltrato físico y psicológico así como la negligencia por parte de los padres y/o cuidadores. Además, se halló que el apego inseguro está relacionado con los intentos suicidas de los participantes. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. Se concluye que los vínculos de apego inseguro y las experiencias de trauma infantil aumentan la probabilidad de suicidio en los adolescentes estudiados. Estos hallazgos son discutidos en función de la literatura sobre el tema.

Suffering traumatic experiences linked to violence seems to be related to suicide attempts, especially, when the physical or sexual abuse has been experienced at an early age. This study examines the relationship between the history of abuse and suicide attempts among women victims of violence living in poverty in Nicaragua. This sample was subjected to a particularly serious range of stressful situations and experiences related to violence throughout their lives. The results show that women who experienced abuse during childhood were more likely to report a history of suicide attempts than women without a history of childhood abuse. Therefore, suicide attempts seem to be related more to those traumatic experiences during childhood than to violence suffered afterward. Identifying this type of abuse is particularly important because of its implications for the victims' health, as suicide attempts are maladaptive behaviors with which the women in the sample could have been addressing the trauma they experienced in their childhood. It is, therefore, necessary to highlight this problem in a developing country, which has been the focus of a limited number of studies, and where there are no support mechanisms for victims whose rights have been violated.
