“…Regarding anxiety disorder , Elm (2020) observed that only exposure to physical abuse led to a significantly higher OR for generalized anxiety disorder whereas post‐traumatic stress disorder was associated with cumulative ACE‐IQ categories (Van der Feltz‐Cornelis et al, 2019) and dimensions scores. Lastly, Tay et al (2021) found that emotional abuse was significantly and positively associated with emotional‐behavioural problems in adolescents. In contrast, Gasior and Chodkiewicz (2020) found that women with externalizing symptoms, compared with those with internalizing ones, obtained higher scores on the emotional abuse, domestic violence, death/divorce, and collective violence dimensions.…”

“…Psychopathology's features Nine studies using the ACE-IQ investigated the relationship between ACEs exposure and psychopathological symptoms or psychiatric diagnosis (Elm, 2020;Fawzi et al, 2019;Gasior & Chodkiewicz, 2020;Kidman et al, 2018;Rajapakse et al, 2020;Silove et al, 2018;Tay et al, 2021;Van der Feltz-Cornelis et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2021). Details of their findings are available in Table A1 of Appendix A. Studies observed associations between depression and ACE-IQ scores (Kidman et al, 2018, cumulative ACEs (Kidman et al, 2018), including specific dimensions such as sexual (Elm, 2020;Kidman et al, 2018), emotional, and physical abuse; neglect; parental drug addiction; and mental illness (Elm, 2020).…”

“…Of note, one study employed the instrument with adolescents (Tay et al, 2021), a practice noted also in research on community samples (Tsehay et al, 2020). Given the ACE-IQ is a measure developed for adults, this practice calls for great caution in interpreting the results, accuracy in reporting reliability values of the measures, and general efforts to perform psychometric studies to verify the suitability of the use of the questionnaire with adolescents.…”

This systematic review aimed to (1) synthesize average means and prevalence rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) measured by the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE‐IQ) in clinical and at‐risk samples; (2) discuss the ACE‐IQ prevalence and means according to participants' gender, age (both adults and <18 years old), and geographic area; (3) map relationships between ACE‐IQ scores and other outcomes; (4) detect methodological issues in studies. PRISMA guidelines were followed, searching studies in seven academic databases, including retrieval of grey literature. After screening, 23 studies were included. Results revealed the following: (1) several clinical (e.g., mood disorders and substance abuse) and at‐risk (e.g., criminal and low‐income) conditions were studied, with an average 4.93 mean and 81.74% prevalence of total ACEs; (2) there is a lack of data on males, with the prevalence of domestic violence and physical neglect being especially marked in minors, and no studies involving European and North‐American at‐risk samples; (3) ACE‐IQ scores were mostly related to substance abuse and risk‐taking behaviours; (4) major methodological issues were not‐randomized/convenience sampling techniques and a lack of methodological information on sample and procedure. In conclusion, the ACE‐IQ seems a promising tool in clinical/at‐risk samples, but more studies are needed to answer all research questions.

“…The linkage between maltreatment and the tendency for children to develop mental health difficulties is prevalent in RAS (Scharpf et al, 2020 ). Traumatic stress in parents is linked to increased depression, anxiety, insecure attachment, and behavioral problems in refugee children (Back Nielsen et al, 2019 ; Bryant et al, 2018 ; T. K. Jensen et al, 2015 ; Scharpf et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Tay et al, 2020 ). On the other hand, parental engagement and family cohesion are factors that protect children's mental health (S. Weine et al, 2014 ), as minors living in supportive familial environments have demonstrated better resilience (Daud et al, 2008 ; Pieloch et al, 2016 ).…”

Almost half of the trials failed to recruit their targeted sample size of which 89% could be preventable. Successful implementation of mental health trials in a context of forcibly displaced individuals can be even more challenging.Mental health difficulties have the potential to impact parenting skills, which are linked to poor development in children, while parenting interventions can improve parents' mental health and parenting behaviors. However, the evidence on parenting interventions for refugees is limited. A parenting intervention, Learning Through Play Plus EyeMovement Desensitization and Reprocessing Group Treatment Protocol, has been designed to address parental mental health. This pretrial qualitative study, conducted with refugees, asylum seekers and professionals, aimed to explore their perceptions of the intervention and to identify barriers and recommendations for better engagement, recruitment, and delivery. Three themes were generated from thematic analysis: the content of the intervention, suggestions for improvement and implementation, and

“…For example, a survey confirmed that neglect increased the incidence of drug and alcohol abuse among teenagers (8). By contrast, family dysfunction usually has intergenerational influence and a wider scope of destruction (9). Given that family dysfunction has a high incidence and a variety of forms, studying whether its diverse presentation forms have any difference in health damage is especially worthwhile.…”

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) refer to traumatic events experienced by children in early life, including abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, which are common worldwide. ACEs are harmful to mental health, and psychological problems can influence personal economic poverty in adulthood. We focused on family dysfunction and discussed the effect of different types of ACEs on poverty and the corresponding mediating effect of depression.Materials and Methods: A total of 9,910 individuals who were 60 years or older from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2014 and 2015 were analysed. The chi-square test was used to compare poverty incidence among subgroups of independent or control variables. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to test the effect of different types of ACEs on depression, and four logistic regression models were established to observe the association between ACEs on older adult poverty and the mediating effect of depression. The path diagram of the direct effect and indirect effect was drawn to test the mediating effect of depression.Results: Early death of father, the male guardian getting upset and witnessing violence of father to mother are the risk factors for older adult poverty, whereas female guardian getting upset, relationship with female guardians and parental quarrel are protective factors for older adult poverty. Furthermore, depression has a partial mediating effect on some factors including early death of father, male guardian getting upset, relationship with female guardian, parental quarrel, and witnessing violence of father to mother.Conclusions: Paternal ACE factors can directly make children more likely to fall into poverty as older adults and can indirectly influence older adult poverty through the partial mediating effect of depression. Assisting poor families, providing psychological counselling, formulating family visit plans, nurturing orphan children under state supervision, and other policies that focus on groups that have experienced paternal ACE events are essential to eliminating the risk factors that influence older adult poverty.
