Family Caregiver Acceptability of Assessing Caregiver Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Distress in Pediatric Specialty Care.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionProviding quality healthcare for children includes assessing and responding to needs of their family caregivers. Three salient domains to consider are caregivers' early adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), their current levels of distress, and their resilience in coping with both prior and current stressors.
objectiveDetermine acceptability of assessing caregiver ACEs, current distress, and resilience in pediatric subspecialty care settings.
methodsCaregivers of patients in two pediatric specialty care clinics completed questionnaires about their ACEs, recent emotional distress, and resilience. Importantly, caregivers also rated the acceptability of being asked these questions. Participants included 100 caregivers of youth ages 3-17 across Sickle Cell Disease and Pain clinic settings. The majority of participants were mothers (91.0%) who identified as non-Hispanic (86.0%). Caregiver race was primarily African American/Black (53.0%) and White (41.0%). The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to assess socioeconomic disadvantage.
resultsHigh levels of caregiver acceptability or neutrality with assessing ACEs and distress, as well as high ACEs, distress, and resilience. Associations were found between caregiver ratings of acceptability with caregiver resilience and socioeconomic disadvantage. Caregivers reported openness to being asked about their experiences during childhood and recent emotional distress, although ratings of acceptability varied according to other contextual variables, such as level of socioeconomic disadvantage and caregiver resilience. In general, caregivers perceived themselves to be resilient in the face of adversity.
conclusionsAssessing caregiver ACEs and distress in a trauma-informed way may provide opportunities for better understanding the needs of caregivers and families in order to support them more effectively in the pediatric setting.
