Abstract
When children are exposed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), it is well-established that they are at risk for developing adult chronic health conditions such as heart disease, depression, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is emerging evidence that exposure to ACEs increases the risk of developing pediatric chronic conditions, including behavior problems, developmental delay, and obesity. One objective of this presentation will be to summarize my previously published work reporting the associations of ACEs exposure with obesity and the impact of family positive contextual factors on this relationship using data from the 2011–2012 National Survey of Children’s Health. A second objective will be to present new data on the feasibility of maternal ACEs screening of parents of young children using home visitors and the association of these maternal ACEs scores on child developmental and mental health outcomes over 3 years.
