To examine the link between human trafficking of minors and childhood adversity.
We compared the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and cumulative childhood adversity (ACE score) among a sample of 913 juvenile justice-involved boys and girls in Florida for whom the Florida child abuse hotline accepted human trafficking abuse reports between 2009 and 2015 with those of a matched sample.
ACE composite scores were higher and 6 ACEs indicative of child maltreatment were more prevalent among youths who had human trafficking abuse reports. Sexual abuse was the strongest predictor of human trafficking: the odds of human trafficking was 2.52 times greater for girls who experienced sexual abuse, and there was a 8.21 times greater risk for boys who had histories of sexual abuse.
Maltreated youths are more susceptible to exploitation in human trafficking. Sexual abuse in connection with high ACE scores may serve as a key predictor of exploitation in human trafficking for both boys and girls.
研究未成年人人口贩卖与童年逆境之间的联系。
我们比较了2009年至2015年间佛罗里达州913名涉及少年司法的男孩和女孩样本中童年不良经历（ACEs）的患病率和累积童年逆境（ACE分数），这些儿童的虐待报告被佛罗里达州儿童虐待热线受理，同时与匹配样本进行了比较。
在有人口贩卖虐待报告的青少年中，ACE综合得分更高，6种表明儿童受虐待的ACEs更为普遍。性虐待是人口贩卖的最强预测因素：遭受性虐待的女孩被人口贩卖的几率高出2.52倍，有性虐待史的男孩面临的风险高出8.21倍。
受虐待的青少年更容易在人口贩卖中受到剥削。与高ACE分数相关的性虐待可能是男孩和女孩在人口贩卖中受到剥削的关键预测因素。
