Abstract
In the United States, approximately 1.5 million children experience homelessness each year. Although homelessness is well-recognized as a strong risk factor for PTSD, less is known about its other long-term mental health outcomes. More so, there remains the question of the interaction of trauma childhood experiences and childhood housing insecurity. To this end, we sought to examine whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), a means of quantifying exposure to traumatic experiences, which also has been shown to predict higher rates of mental disorders, might further clarify this association.
