Introduction:
The 2017-2018 National Survey of Children’s Health estimates that 30
million (42%) US children have experienced at least one adverse
childhood experience (ACE), including abuse, neglect, and household
dysfunction. ACEs negatively impact long-term health, and there has been
no study of ACEs in cystic fibrosis (CF). We assessed willingness to
disclose ACEs experienced by children with CF by surveying their parents
and adults with CF.
