Does Early Life Adversity Limit Delivery of High‐Quality Health Care Among Children?
This study expands the research showing a deleterious impact of ACEs on utilization of health care by showing that ACEs are associated with lower quality health care. This can be particularly determinantal to children with a history of ACEs because they have a greater need for health care and are less likely to use many types of health care. Efforts to improve health care quality for all children will be of particular benefit to vulnerable groups, like those with a history of ACEs.
