Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of adverse childhood experiences on health, mental health, and substance use in early adulthood: A cohort study of an urban, minority sample in the U.S.
TL;DR: There was a robust association between ACEs and poor outcomes in early adulthood, and greater levels of adversity were associated with poorer self-rated health and life satisfaction, as well as more frequent depressive symptoms, anxiety, tobacco use, alcohol use, and marijuana use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a School-Based, Early Childhood Intervention on Adult Health and Well-being A 19-Year Follow-up of Low-Income Families
Arthur J. Reynolds,Judy A. Temple,Suh Ruu Ou,Dylan L. Robertson,Joshua P. Mersky,James W. Topitzes,Michael D. Niles +6 more
TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that established early education programs can have enduring effects on general well-being into adulthood, and participation in a school-based intervention beginning in preschool was associated with a wide range of positive outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking the Measurement of Adversity.
TL;DR: Conventional ACEs loaded on two factors, child maltreatment and household dysfunction, though a more complex four-factor solution emerged once new ACEs were introduced, and all ACEs demonstrated acceptable test–retest reliability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Child Maltreatment and Violent Delinquency: Disentangling Main Effects and Subgroup Effects:
TL;DR: Results indicate that public assistance, particularly persistent receipt, moderates the association between maltreatment and multiple outcomes, and support the hypothesized connection between malt treatment and violent delinquency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing early adult outcomes of maltreated and non-maltreated children: A prospective longitudinal investigation.
Joshua P. Mersky,James Topitzes +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that child maltreatment is associated with extensive and enduring impacts, reinforcing the need to develop and implement effective maltreatment prevention and intervention strategies.
