Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may be predictors of cannabis use among youth. Our study aimed to examine the prevalence of ACEs and assess the relationship between exposure to individual ACEs and cannabis use behavior among Connecticut high school students. We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis using a representative sample of 1760 high school students who participated in the 2021 Connecticut Youth Risk Behavior Survey. We examined lifetime and past 30-day cannabis use history by exposure to eight different ACEs. Group differences were investigated using descriptive statistics and generalized linear models. 20.6% reported lifetime cannabis use and 11.1% reported past 30-day cannabis use. ACEs ranged in prevalence from 5.4% for sexual abuse to 35.6% for verbal abuse. Each ACE examined in this analysis was associated with elevated prevalence of lifetime and past month cannabis use. ACEs were common among Connecticut high school students and students exposed to ACEs were more likely to report using cannabis.

不良童年经历（ACE）可能是青少年吸食大麻的预测因素。我们的研究旨在检查康涅狄格州高中生中 ACE 的患病率，并评估个体 ACE 暴露与大麻使用行为之间的关系。我们对参加 2021 年康涅狄格州青少年风险行为调查的 1760 名高中生的代表性样本进行了回顾性横断面分析。我们通过接触八种不同的 ACE 来检查一生和过去 30 天的大麻使用史。使用描述性统计和广义线性模型研究组间差异。20.6% 的人报告终生吸食大麻，11.1% 的人报告过去 30 天吸食大麻。ACE 的发生率从性虐待的 5.4% 到言语虐待的 35.6% 不等。本次分析中检查的每项 ACE 都与终生和过去一个月大麻使用率升高相关。ACE 在康涅狄格州高中生中很常见，接触 ACE 的学生更有可能报告使用大麻。
