Abstract

The current study aims to identify a difference in Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) scores between 3 distinct generations: Millennial's, Generation X, and Baby Boomers. Findings show that Millennial's are more likely to experience more ACEs than Baby Boomers, however Generation X ACE scores did not statistically differ from Baby Boomers.
