The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, associated mitigation measures, and social economic impacts may affect mental health, suicidal behavior, substance use, violence.To examine changes in US emergency department (ED) visits for health conditions (MHCs), suicide attempts (SAs), overdose (OD), violence outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.This cross-sectional study used data from Centers Disease Control Prevention's National Syndromic Surveillance Program to national ED MHCs,...
Heightened stress, school closures, loss of income, and social isolation resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have increased risk for child abuse neglect (1). Using National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) data January 6, 2019-September 2020, CDC tabulated weekly numbers emergency department (ED) visits related to calculated proportions such per 100,000 ED visits, as well percentage suspected or confirmed ending in hospitalization, overall stratified by age...
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are defined as preventable, potentially traumatic events that occur among persons aged <18 years and associated with numerous negative outcomes; data from 25 states indicate ACEs common U.S. adults (1). Disparities in often attributable to social economic environments which some families live (2,3). Understanding the prevalence of ACEs, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics, is essential addressing preventing eliminating disparities, but...

Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) promote optimal health and mitigate the effects of adverse experiences, but PCE prevalence in United States is not wellknown.Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, this study describes individual cumulative PCEs among adults residing four states: Kansas (2020), Montana (2019), South Carolina Wisconsin (2015).Cumulative scores were calculated by summing affirmative responses to seven questions.Subscores created for family-related (three...
Adverse and positive childhood experiences have a profound impact on lifespan health well-being. However, their incorporation into ongoing population-based surveillance systems has been limited. This paper outlines critical steps in building comprehensive approach to adverse surveillance, provides examples from the Preventing Childhood Experiences: Data Action cooperative agreement, describes improvements needed optimize data for action. Components of include revisiting definitions...
Eswatini has made substantial progress responding to its HIV epidemic and reducing violence against children.

Objective To describe the documented suicidal ideation within a year following diagnosis and to examine how differed by recent violence encounter status among new diagnoses. Design, Setting, Participants Retrospective cohort study in clinical settings including outpatient facilities, emergency departments, hospitals. Using...
Although preventable, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can result in lifelong health harms. Current surveillance data on adults' exposure to ACEs are either unavailable or incomplete for many U.S. states.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are preventable, potentially traumatic events occurring before age 18 years. Data on ACEs among adolescents in the United States have primarily been collected through parent report and not included important violence-related ACEs, including physical, sexual, emotional abuse. This presents first national prevalence of self-reported U.S. high school students aged <18 years, estimates associations between 16 health conditions risk behaviors, calculates...
Violence is a major public health and human rights concern, claiming over 1.3 million lives globally each year (1). Despite the scope of this problem, population-based data on physical sexual violence perpetration are scarce, particularly in low-income middle-income countries (2,3).
