Abstract

= 1.62, 95% CI [1.35, 1.94]) were positively associated with suicidality; the associations were not moderated by race and ethnicity. Differential ACE exposure by race and ethnicity may help explain suicide-related disparities. ACE prevention and interventions, particularly among children of minoritized race and ethnicity, are vital. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
