Also, children who have experienced an ACE are at higher risk of being re-traumatized or suffering multiple ACEs. [7] The amount and types of ACEs can cause significant negative impacts and increase the risk of internalizing and externalizing in children. [8] To date, there is still limited research on how ACEs impact Latino children.

This states that unhealthy behaviors are directly related to the distal stress, or social stress, that minorities experience. [11] These stressors could include rejection or pressure by peers, and physical, mental, and emotional harassment.
