Research on adverse childhood experiences is a vital part of the data-to-action link and the development of evidence-based public health and violence prevention practice. Etiological research helps to elucidate the key risk and protective factors for adverse childhood experiences and outcome research examines the consequences of exposure to them. Evaluation research is critical to building the evidence base for strategies that are likely to have a significant impact on preventing and reducing adverse experiences during childhood. Implementation research efforts inform the movement and scale-up of evidence-based findings to public health practice. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Violence Prevention located in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is investing in a number of research initiatives that are designed to advance what is known about the causes and consequences of adverse childhood experiences (i.e., etiological research), the strategies that are effective at reducing and preventing them (i.e., evaluation research), and how to best adapt and scale effective strategies (i.e., implementation research). This article complements the other articles in this Special Supplement by briefly providing a review of reviews for each of these areas and highlighting recent research investments and strategic directions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the area of child abuse and neglect and adverse childhood experience prevention. Research investments are critical to advancing the evidence base on the prevention of adverse childhood experiences and to ensure safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments so that all children can live to their fullest potential.
不良儿童经历的研究是数据转化为行动的关键环节，也是制定基于证据的公共卫生和暴力预防实践的关键环节。病因学研究有助于阐明不良儿童经历的关键风险和保护因素，而结果研究则研究了接触这些因素的后果。评估研究对于建立可能对预防和减少儿童期不良经历产生重大影响的策略的证据基础至关重要。实施研究工作为将循证发现推向公共卫生实践提供了信息。疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的暴力预防司位于国家伤害预防与控制中心，该司正在投资多项研究计划，旨在推进对不良儿童经历的原因和后果（即病因学研究）、有效减少和预防这些经历的策略（即评估研究），以及如何最好地适应和扩大有效策略（即实施研究）的了解。本文通过简要回顾这三个领域的综述，以及强调疾病控制与预防中心在虐待和忽视儿童以及预防不良儿童经历领域的最新研究投资和战略方向，补充了这个特刊中的其他文章。研究投资对于推进预防不良儿童经历的证据基础以及确保安全、稳定和培养关系和环境至关重要，以便所有儿童都能充分发挥潜力。
