“…Throughout the last two decades, the ACEs literature has theoretically categorized 10 ACEs into two groups: child maltreatment and household challenges [1,10]. Only a small number of studies have empirically examined the factor structure; yet, these studies provide limited opportunity for conclusion or comparison due to the diversity in samples, objectives of the studies, specific methods, and ACEs examined [32,34,57]. The current study extends knowledge by providing empirical evidence for the theorized structure and conceptualization of ACEs in both a parent and adolescent sample.…”

Background: Despite increased understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), very little advancement has been made in how ACEs are defined and conceptualized. The current objectives were to determine: 1) how well a theoretically-derived ACEs model fit the data, and 2) the association of all ACEs and the ACEs factors with poor self-rated mental and physical health. Methods: Data were obtained from the Well-Being and Experiences Study, survey data of adolescents aged 14 to 17 years (n = 1002) and their parents (n = 1000) in Manitoba, Canada collected from 2017 to 2018. Statistical methods included confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and logistic regression models. Results: The study findings indicated a two-factor solution for both the adolescent and parent sample as follows: a) child maltreatment and peer victimization and b) household challenges factors, provided the best fit to the data. All original and expanded ACEs loaded on one of these two factors and all individual ACEs were associated with either poor self-rated mental health, physical health or both in unadjusted models and with the majority of findings remaining statistically significant in adjusted models (Adjusted Odds Ratios ranged from 1.16-3.25 among parents and 1.12-8.02 among adolescents). Additionally, both factors were associated with poor mental and physical health. Conclusions: Findings confirm a two-factor structure (i.e., 1) child maltreatment and peer victimization and 2) household challenges) and indicate that the ACEs list should include original ACEs (i.e., physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), household substance use, household mental health problems, parental separation or divorce, parental problems with police) and expanded ACEs (i.e., spanking, peer victimization, household gambling problems, foster care placement or child protective organization (CPO) contact, poverty, and neighborhood safety).

“…In addition to physical damage, studies indicate other health problems for children suffering from this type of violence, such as low school performance, low or no social adjustment, difficulties in the sexual sphere, low self-esteem, development of psychosomatic diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, personality and post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, panic, self-injurious and/or aggressive and suicidal behavior (27)(28) .…”

Objective: To unveil expressions of intrafamily violence experienced in childhood and/or adolescence by women who attempted suicide. Method: This is a study with a qualitative approach based on Oral Story. Participants were ten women with a history of suicide attempt, who experienced intrafamily violence in childhood and/or adolescence. The research was carried out at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide, linked to a Toxicological Information Center in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Results: From the orality of women, the study allowed the emergence of the following representative categories of intrafamily abuse experienced in childhood and/or adolescence: psychological violence, rejection, neglect, physical violence and sexual violence. Final considerations: The study alerts to intrafamily violence as an aggravation related to suicidal behavior, offering elements that help in the identification of their expressions, which will raise awareness to suicidal behavior and consequently suicide prevention.

“…From the point of view of public health, it is a priority to prevent such violence. The reduction is a challenging task though, because punishment can be considered acceptable when confused with education (13) , so much that it has been pointed out as a disciplinary practice (3,10) . In order to change the culture of educational practices that violate rights of children, the Law 13,010/2014, known as the Bernardo Boy's Law, was approved.…”

There were 541 notifications making reference to violence, which included: 47.5% of sexual nature; white girls, 6 to 12 years old, and students, as main victims; and family members as the main perpetrators.
