“…The third most common type of ACE was community violence, as 57.4% of adolescents reported experiencing at least one form of it. It is lower than in some countries, such as Malawi, with 88.35% (Kidman et al, 2020), but higher than in others, such as Vietnam, with 23% (Le et al, 2022). Community violence is about experiencing harm or being threatened by individuals in the community.…”

Scant studies have investigated adverse childhood experience (ACE) outcomes and mastery during adolescence in different cultural contexts. This cross‐sectional study examines the impact of ACEs on subjective well‐being, health complaints, and healthcare utilization during late adolescence, including the mediating role of the sense of mastery in the Saudi context. Adolescents (N = 396) aged 17–21 years were recruited via convenience sampling from colleges and local communities from two regions in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a paper‐pencil anonymous survey and analyzed using path analysis. Of the sample, 85.5% experienced at least one ACE. ACEs had a direct effect on subjective well‐being (p = 0.034), health complaints (p < 0.001), healthcare utilization (p < 0.001), and sense of mastery (p < 0.001). Sense of mastery had an effect on subjective well‐being (p < 0.001) and health complaints (p < 0.001), but not on healthcare utilization (p = 0.436). Sense of mastery partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and subjective well‐being (p = 0.034) and health complaints (p < 0.001), but not healthcare utilization (p = 0.438). ACEs have detrimental effects on adolescent health. Attention should be paid to primary prevention and early detection to avoid further harm, and interventions that address the role of the sense of mastery should be developed for adolescents.

“…8 The current ACE rate in this study is relatively lower compared to a previous study conducted in 2020 on 4,957 adolescents in Vietnam, which showed that 86% had experienced at least one ACE in their lifetime, 6 while another study in the northern provinces showed an ACE rate of 74%. 5 Another study in Hanoi reported an ACE rate of 46% among adolescents. 9 It is important to note that all these studies were conducted among middle and high school students, which could cause a difference in ACE rates compared to our study.…”

“…Several studies were performed on high school or university students, suggesting that the rates of adolescents and youths encountering at least one adverse childhood experience ranged from 74% to 86%. 5,6 Lang Son province, located in the northern border region of Vietnam, is home to a diverse population of ethnic minorities, each with distinct cultural and social practices. This area provides a unique context to explore the dynamics of ACEs due to its socio-economic diversity, cultural richness, and the various challenges faced by these communities, including economic disparities and limited access to healthcare and educational resources.…”

The objective of this paper was to investigate the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and associated factors among adolescents of the ethnic minorities of Lang Son province. This cross-sectional research was carried out in Lang Son province. A total of 845 students in boarding schools participated in the study. Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) was used to measure ACEs. Multivariate Logistic Regression was performed to identify associated factors with ACEs. Emotional abuse is the most common ACE, experienced by 21.9% of the participants, followed by emotional neglect at 14.4% and parental divorce at 11%. Overall, 48.7% experienced ACEs in their lifetime. The frequency of parental visits every two months significantly increases the likelihood of adverse experiences (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.43-4.05, p-value = 0.0009), and living in households with fewer than ten people versus ten or more significantly decreases the risk (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.33-0.70, p-value < 0.0001). Additionally, internet use for 4 hours/day (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.15-0.38, p-value < 0.01), 5 hours/day (OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.13-0.51, p-value < 0.01), and six or more hours/day (OR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.11-0.43, p-value < 0.01) are also significantly associated with lower odds of adverse experiences, suggesting protective effects of extended daily internet use against adverse childhood experiences. This study underscores a significant prevalence of ACEs among adolescents in ethnic minority communities in Lang Son province, pointing to an urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address these challenges.
