TLDR
It is suggested that building resilience-defined in the survey as "staying calm and in control when faced with a challenge," for children ages 6-17-can ameliorate the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences.
Abstract
The ongoing longitudinal Adverse Childhood Experiences Study of adults has found significant associations between chronic conditions; quality of life and life expectancy in adulthood; and the traum...

Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity

TL;DR: The Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity as discussed by the authors report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Methods to Assess Adverse Childhood Experiences of Children and Families: Toward Approaches to Promote Child Well-being in Policy and Practice.

TL;DR: Although important variations exist, available ACEs measurement methods are similar and show consistent associations with poorer health outcomes in absence of protective factors and resilience and suggest use of population-wide versus high-risk approaches to assessing ACEs.

Effects of Social Needs Screening and In-Person Service Navigation on Child Health: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: The intervention significantly decreased families' reports of social needs and significantly improved children's overall health status as reported by caregivers, and these findings support the feasibility and potential effect of addressing social needs in pediatric health care settings.

Positive Childhood Experiences and Adult Mental and Relational Health in a Statewide Sample: Associations Across Adverse Childhood Experiences Levels

TL;DR: Positive childhood experiences demonstrate a dose-response association with adult D/PMH and ARSES after adjustment for ACEs; assessing and proactively promoting PCEs may reduce adult mental and relational health problems, even in the concurrent presence of ACEs.

Systematic review of pediatric health outcomes associated with childhood adversity

TL;DR: More large longitudinal studies are needed to better understand how adversity, its timing and severity, and the presence of individual genetic, epigenetic, and protective factors affects children’s health and development.

- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: An ecobiodevelopmental framework is presented that suggests that many adult diseases should be viewed as developmental disorders that begin early in life and that persistent health disparities associated with poverty, discrimination, or maltreatment could be reduced by the alleviation of toxic stress in childhood.
