Journal ArticleDOI
Adverse childhood experiences: retrospective study to determine their impact on adult health behaviours and health outcomes in a UK population.
TL;DR: That ACEs are linked to involvement in violence, early unplanned pregnancy, incarceration, and unemployment suggests a cyclic effect where those with higher ACE counts have higher risks of exposing their own children to ACEs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring mortality and the burden of adult disease associated with adverse childhood experiences in England: a national survey
TL;DR: Radically different life-course trajectories are associated with exposure to increased ACEs, and interventions to prevent ACEs are available but rarely implemented at scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
National household survey of adverse childhood experiences and their relationship with resilience to health-harming behaviors in England
TL;DR: Stable and protective childhoods are critical factors in the development of resilience to health-harming behaviors in England, with nurturing childhoods supporting the adoption of health-benefiting behaviors and the provision of positive childhood environments for future generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between adverse childhood experiences and adult mental well-being: results from an English national household survey
TL;DR: Childhood adversity has a strong cumulative relationship with adult mental well-being and comprehensive mental health strategies should incorporate interventions to prevent ACEs and moderate their impacts from the very earliest stages of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Healthy nightclubs and recreational substance use. From a harm minimisation to a healthy settings approach.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a global rise in the use of drugs such as ecstasy as part of nightlife behaviour and a variety of harm reduction interventions have been implemented, often focusing on the direct effects of substance use, but the risk to health posed by substances is also related to the nightlife environment in which they are used.
