The impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on behavioral, mental, and physical health have been extensively investigated. As such, it is paramount to synthesize their quantified effects, especially within vulnerable populations. The goal of this scoping review was to collect, summarize, and synthesize existing research on ACEs and substance use (SU) in adult sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations.
Highlights:
- Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) impacts substance use behavior.
- Sexual and gender minorities are more likely to report ACEs.
- Sexual and gender minority subgroups showed adult substance use post ACE.
- Childhood sexual abuse was positively associated with substance use problems.
