Abstract：
The current paper describes rates of recent (past six months) adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and examines the association of ACEs with cultural connection and depressive symptoms among Indigenous children aged 10 to 14 (N = 177; mean age = 11.8; 48.3% boys; 44.3% girls; 7.4% another gender identity). Children completed baseline surveys as part of a larger evaluation of a culturally grounded, strengths-focused, family-based program to prevent ACEs. Surveys included an inclusive measure of ACEs developed for the current study, an adapted measure of connection to culture, and the Children\'s Depression Screener. Results for ACEs indicated that 18.6% of Indigenous children reported none, 37.2% reported one to three, and 44.2% reported four or more in the past six months. Importantly, children who reported no ACEs reported greater cultural connection than children who reported one to three ACEs. Depressive symptoms were higher among children who reported one to three and four or more ACEs compared to children who reported no ACEs.
摘要：
本文描述了最近（过去六个月）不良儿童经历（ACE）的发生率，并研究了10至14岁土著儿童中ACE与文化联系和抑郁症状的关系（N=177；平均年龄=11.8；48.3%男孩；44.3%女孩；7.4%另一种性别认同）。儿童完成了基线调查，作为对文化基础的更大评估的一部分，以优势为中心，以家庭为基础的预防ACE的计划。调查包括为当前研究开发的ACEs的包容性衡量标准，一种与文化联系的适应性衡量标准，和儿童抑郁症筛查。ACE的结果表明，18.6%的土著儿童报告没有，37.2%的人报告了一到三，44.2%的人在过去六个月报告了四个或更多。重要的是,未报告ACE的儿童比报告1~3例ACE的儿童有更大的文化联系.与未报告ACE的儿童相比，报告1至3个和4个或更多ACE的儿童的抑郁症状更高。
