Ethnicity-related survey responses and mean ACE scores. Survey responses and mean ACE scores were split by ethnicity to uncover any data disparities since the total survey data is heavily imbalanced by the proportion of respondents who identified as white (A). Respondents from the black population were mainly from the southeastern US although mean ACE scores were highest in the western states (B). Hispanic population responses were mainly from Florida and Texas which have a lower mean ACE score than Hispanic data collected from other states (C). AIAN responses were a low proportion of the data but demonstrated a relatively high mean ACE score across all states (D). While Asian survey responses were also a small proportion overall, they have a generally low ACE score compared to other ethnicities within the data (E). All other ethnicities were categorized as Other for the remaining respondents although this group also experienced relatively high ACE scores across all states (F)
