Population attributable fractions of adverse childhood experiences for emotional problems and self-harming behaviors among middle school students in China.

The population attributable fractions of health outcomes attributed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among Chinese middle school students is unknown. Of all the 22,868 middle school students, 29.8 % had exposure to four or more ACEs. Findings showed a graded relationship between ACE scores and those adverse outcomes. The PAFs of six outcomes attributed to experiencing ≥ 4 ACEs ranged from 23.1 % to 44.2 %. The results emphasized the significance of preventive interventions to alleviate the negative legacies of ACEs.
