A new paper released by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reports a strong association between a high number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and contact with the U.S. justice system. Analyzing data from eleven studies, the researchers found that results were consistent across multiple types of justice system contact and across diverse geographic regions of the country. The findings are published in
Pediatrics. We found consistent evidence that higher ACE scores are associated with greater risks of juvenile justice system contact in the United States, said Gloria Graf, a doctoral student in epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School, and first author.

But what data are state health officials basing this on?
The only data set the state has released about the sources of infections has been focused on outbreaks defined as two or more cases that can be linked to a common exposure. It shows that sports were the top source of known outbreaks going back to March. In October, the most recent month for which data is publicly available, 33% of the 51 traced outbreaks were connected to sports. But gatherings and parties only account for 6% that’s three outbreaks.
