Previous research has found women who experience eight or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are 3.5 times as likely to be victims of adult IPV. This study examined the relationship between ACEs and IPV (physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and stalking) among college students.
This study was conducted among undergraduate students (N = 2,900) at two large, non-profit, public universities in the United States.
Students completed a web-based survey addressing self-reported ACEs and violence that occurred within the current academic year. Chi-square tests and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between ACEs and violence.
College students with higher ACE scores were more likely to experience violence. Students with ACE scores of four or higher were between 1.9-4.9 times more likely to experience violence. A dose response relationship was found between ACE score and experiences of violence.
Campus violence prevention programs may benefit from incorporating discussion of ACEs into programing.
先前的研究发现,经历过 8 次或更多不良童年经历(ACEs)的女性成为成年期亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)受害者的可能性是其 3.5 倍。本研究调查了大学生中 ACEs 与 IPV(身体暴力、性暴力、心理暴力和跟踪)之间的关系。
本研究在美国两所大型非营利性公立大学的本科学生(N=2900)中进行。
学生们完成了一项基于网络的调查,调查了他们在本学年内自我报告的 ACEs 和暴力事件。使用卡方检验和逻辑回归模型来评估 ACEs 与暴力之间的关系。
ACE 得分较高的大学生更有可能经历暴力。ACE 得分在 4 分及以上的学生经历暴力的可能性是 ACE 得分在 0-3 分的学生的 1.9-4.9 倍。ACE 得分与经历暴力之间存在剂量反应关系。
校园暴力预防计划可能受益于将 ACEs 的讨论纳入计划中。
