不良童年经历（ACE）历史上包括虐待儿童，家庭功能障碍和其他已知对儿童产生负面影响的关键问题。虽然青年遭受暴力的经历在一些反暴力措施中得到广泛反映，但青年遭受枪支暴力的情况并没有具体纳入反暴力措施的实施和科学研究中。这一遗漏有许多影响，包括限制获得目前可用的ACE干预措施和暴露于枪支暴力的个人的资源。因此，鉴于枪支暴力在美国的持续流行，我们对过去二十年来关于评估和应对ACE和枪支暴力的文献进行了系统回顾。在四个搜索引擎上的81篇期刊文章符合我们的纳入标准。我们的研究结果提供了证据表明，青少年枪支暴力暴露应被归类为ACE。除了增加受枪支暴力影响的青年获得资源的机会外，这些发现可能会提高对枪支暴力的资助和研究的可能性，对预防和干预工作产生直接影响。
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have historically included child maltreatment, household dysfunction, and other critical issues known to impact children negatively. Although youth experiences with violence are broadly captured in some ACE measures, youth exposure to violence involving a gun has not been included specifically in the operationalizing, and thereforescientific study, of ACEs. There are numerous implications of this omission, including limiting access to ACE interventions that are currently available and resources for individuals who have been exposed to gun violence. Thus, and given the persistent prevalence of gun violence in the US, we conducted a systematic review of the literature over the past two decades on the assessment of and response to ACEs and gun violence. Eighty-one journal articles across four search engines met our inclusion criteria. Our findings provide evidence that youth gun violence exposure should be classified as an ACE. In addition to increasing access to resources for youth affected by gun violence, these findings may improve the likelihood of funding and research into gun violence, with direct implications for prevention and intervention efforts.
