This study examines the link between ACEs and safety net usage among U.S. families. Parents with children experiencing more ACEs are more likely to utilize safety nets. The findings emphasize the need for policies to reduce ACEs, economic inequality, and increasing access to resources for low-income families.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
To estimate the prevalence of parent-reported use of safety nets in families with children experiencing varying levels of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the U.S.
To examine the associations between cumulative ACEs and the reported use of social safety net programs, controlling for other factors.
To assess the need for comprehensive social welfare programs to mitigate the impact of ACEs on families and reduce poverty, food insecurity, and economic disparities.
