Exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is a pervasive problem in Ohio and across the nation. Nearly two-thirds of Ohioans have been exposed to an ACE, with more than one-third of Ohioans exposed to two or more ACEs.

• Understand the health and economic consequences of ACEs
• Quickly find information about what works to impact ACEs
• Identify areas where Ohio can align with the evidence and improve
