: Adverse Childhood Experiences and their impact on health-harming behaviours in the Welsh adult population
Open accessAbstract
This report is one in a series of reports examining the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Welsh adult population and their impact on health and well-being across the life course. Substantial proportions of the Welsh population reported suffering abuse, neglect and other ACEs during their childhood with 47% reporting having experienced at least one ACE and 14% experiencing four or more ACEs. This report focuses on: alcohol use, drug use, violence, sexual behaviour, incarceration, smoking and poor diet.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Four studies measuring unintended teenage pregnancy reported higher estimates than did studies measuring any teenage pregnancy.
“For teenage pregnancy, four studies 9,33-35 had measured unintended teenage pregnancy and these studies reported higher estimates than did those measuring any teenage pregnancy 8,14,21 (appendix).”
From The effect of multiple adverse childhood experiences on health: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2017) · cites this paper as [34]
The section ‘ACEs and their association with unintended teenage pregnancy’ reports an estimate for unintended teenage pregnancy, so this paper supports its identification as a study measuring that outcome. It does not compare its estimate with studies measuring any teenage pregnancy or establish that four studies reported higher estimates. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
