Lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer adults have high rates of adverse childhood experiences

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer people had higher exposure to all adverse childhood experiences compared with heterosexual adults, according to a cross-sectional study in a research letter published in JAMA Psychiatry.
“Sexual minority individuals (eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer people) experience high rates of bullying and violence, a predictor of worse mental health, but little research has examined adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) occurring before age 18 years among sexual minority individuals,” Nathaniel M. Tran, BA, of the department of health policy at Vanderbilt
