Protective factors for adverse childhood experiences: Scoping review and evidence gap map.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Adverse childhood experiences (ACES) negatively impact mental, physical, and behavioral health of adults. To develop empirically supported interventions to reduce the impact of ACES, we need to have a strong empirical base of research on modifiable protective factors that reduce the link between ACES and health outcomes.
