Publicado
2024-07-01

La comprensión de las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (EAI) es clave para atender los retos que enfrenta la población mexicana durante la infancia. Esta revisión teórica tiene como objetivo explorar las EAI presentes en México, a partir de la revisión de la evolución conceptual del constructo, los dominios y categorías de adversidad, y la descripción de adversidades específicas encontradas en este contexto. En la discusión se sintetizan los principales hallazgos y conclusiones de cada aspecto considerado para la revisión teórica, los retos metodológicos y limitaciones del estudio de las EAI en México, así como las implicaciones para la investigación y la práctica en futuros estudios.

Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is key to addressing the challenges faced by the Mexican population during childhood. This theoretical review aims to explore ACEs present in Mexico by examining the conceptual evolution of the construct, domains and categories of adversity, and the description of specific adversities found in this context. The discussion synthesizes the main findings and conclusions of each aspect considered for the theoretical review, methodological challenges, and limitations of studying ACEs in Mexico, as well as implications for research and practice in future studies.
