A study showed the higher the adverse childhood experiences a person had, the lower the odds of graduating in high school
Adverse childhood experiences was greatly associated with lower enrollment in colleges.
A lot of studies have not been conducted in order to determine the relationship of a persons’ adverse childhood experiences score

Methods
Participants: High School Students
Material: Video camera, Books, Papers, writing materials
Procedures: get an informed consent, prepare time for questionnaire as well as interview, complete questionnaire and review interview
Design: Correlational design
The participants that were involved were students from high school, material that were used included Video camera, Books, Papers, writing materials. The design used was correlational design

Results
Chi Square Test
Spearman’s correlation coefficient
P<0.5
Chi-square is a statistical test used to examine the differences between categorical variables from a random sample in order to judge goodness of fit between expected and observed results. The Spearman's measures the strength and direction of association between two ranked variables.

What would it mean if you obtained significant results and non- significant results?
Significant Results: If significant results were obtained this means ace scores are related to how an individual feels prepared for college.
Non-significant Results: If non-significant results were obtained this means that ace scores are not related to how an individual feels prepared for college.
Before conducting any research, the research has to seek permission from the relevant authorities One of these authorities is the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This is a body that has the authority to approve, require modification or disproves a research After seeking permission from the authority, the researcher can proceed with his or her research
5
How the study will follow APA ethical guidelines?
The study will follow APA ethical guidelines by using:
Informed consent
Debriefing statement
IRB permission
The study will follow APA ethical guidelines by getting consent from the authority in order to do a research. This is known as getting IRB permission

IRB permission
Before conducting any research, the research has to seek permission from the relevant authorities
One of these authorities is the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This is a body that has the authority to approve, require modification or disproves a research
After seeking permission from the authority, the researcher can proceed with his or her research
IRB are regulations under FDA that approves or disapproves any research to be conducted. Therefore, before conducting a research, the researcher has to seek permission from the relevant bodies

Limitations
Generalization
Cannot prove the independent variable cause the dependent variable
Self-report
Difficulties in getting samples
Cofounding
Every research as some limitation. In this case, generalizing the sample was the main limitation because it could led the researcher to get inappropriate results. Also, differentiating independent and dependent variables is another limitation in this study.
8
Future studies
The correlational study can help future studies whether significant or non-significant results are obtained.
In every study, it is important to have a future research in order to enable other researcher to conduct a research and gather more information concerning this research. Also, correlational study can help future studies whether significant or non-significant results are obtained.

Conclusion
In a research, there are two main results that can be obtained; that is significant and non significant
This study uses APA ethical guidelines which include; informed consent, debriefing statement, obtaining IRB permission
It is important to have a future studies in order to acquire more information about the research.
In conclusion, there are two main results that have been obtained; that is, significant result which means ace scores are related to how an individual feels prepared for college. Non significant results means results were obtained this means that ace scores are not related to how an individual feels prepared for college. An APA ethical guidelines includes getting consent from the authority in order to conduct a research
