Article Synopsis
- Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are connected to higher use of behavioral health services later in life, while protective factors can reduce this use.
- A study involving 807 adults found that ACEs increased behavioral health service use, but the presence of protective factors led to decreased use.
- No significant interaction between ACEs and protective factors was identified, indicating a need for improved measurement of protective factors and greater awareness among social workers regarding ACE prevalence in clients.
