CyflwynoddastudiaethIechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru i achosion o ACE yng Nghymru, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2015, achos cryf dros weithredu ym maes ACE. Llywiodd canfyddiadau’r astudiaeth hon benderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i flaenoriaethu camau gweithredu i fynd i’r afael ag ACE yn ystod tymor y Senedd hon. Dangosodd yr astudiaeth fod achosion o ACE yn eang yng Nghymru. Tynnodd sylw at y ffaith bod y rheini sydd wedi profi mwy nag un achos o ACE yn wynebu risg uwch o brofi iechyd corfforol a meddyliol gwael gan fyw bywyd anhapus byrrach, gwaelach, llai cynhyrchiol a llai gweithredol yn economaidd. Fodd bynnag, dangosodd hefyd sut yr oedd ACE ymhell o fod yn rhywbeth anochel neu'n rhywbeth sy’n eich diffinio, ac y gellid eu hatal, gan nodi gweithredu gan y llywodraeth a sut y gallai'r rhai a oedd eisoes wedi profi ACE elwa o gael cymorth.
The publication ofPublic Health Wales’ study into ACEs in Walesin 2015 presented a strong case for the need for action on ACEs. Its findings informed the Welsh Government’s decision to prioritise action to tackle ACEs during this Senedd term. The study showed ACEs were widespread in Wales. It highlighted how those who had experienced multiple ACEs faced a far greater risk of experiencing poorer physical and mental health and living shorter, unhappier, unhealthier and less economically active and productive lives. However, it also showed how ACEs were far from inevitable or deterministic, could be prevented, including action by the government and how those who had already experienced ACEs could benefit from support.
