10 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) were defined in the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study.
The 10 ACEs covered experiences in abuse, neglect and household challenges.
While the 10 ACEs do not cover all the possible adversities children encounter, they were the most common mentioned by the surveyed group in the original study, and were also well studied in research literature at the time.
7 Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) were adapted from the Child and Youth Resilience Measure in a landmark study published by JAMA Pediatrics.
The 7 PCEs indicate a child's connectedness and safety in their home, school, and community.
Researchers have been using these 17 experiences as a context to measure correlations between quality of childhood and quality of adulthood for decades.
