| Description | The Adverse Childhood Experience International Questionnaire–Mexican Spanish Version (Casas-Muñoz et al., 2024) assesses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in low- and middle-income adolescents. Adapted from the WHO’s ACE-IQ, this 47-item inventory examines ACEs such as family dysfunction, abuse, neglect, and exposure to violence. Developed and validated with Mexican adolescents from 20 states, it provides evidence of reliability and construct validity. |
