ACEs higher for Gen X?

Ada CalhounMember

Hello! I'm a journalist in NYC. Years ago, I did an article in which I mentioned AcesTooHigh. I've been thinking about childhood trauma a lot lately because I'm writing a book about Generation X women, expanding on a story I did for Oprah.com about midlife. It seems like so many who grew up in the 70s and 80s dealt with divorce, abuse, and/or assault in their childhoods. I'm wondering if there are any stats about how Gen X compares, ACE score-wise, with other generations? Is there any way to know for sure if Gen X's ACEs are measurably higher? I'd be grateful for any leads! Best, Ada
