Abstract
To understand how ACEs appear in the news, we searched for news stories that
mentioned adverse childhood experiences from 2008 to 2014 in more than 500 U.S.
newspapers, wire services and blogs archived in the Nexis database. We analyzed a
random sample to determine how these stories characterized ACEs, why they were in
the news, who spoke about ACEs, and how, if at all, they discussed preventing or
addressing ACEs.
