In 2010, more than 1 in 5 children were reported to be living in poverty.6, 10 Economic disadvantage is among the most potent risks for behavioral and emotional problems due to increased exposure to environmental, familial, and psychosocial risks.11 — 13 In families in which parents are in military service, parental deployment and return has been determined to be a risk factor for behavioral and emotional problems in children.14 Data from the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health demonstrated a strong linear relationship between increasing number of psychosocial risks and many poor health outcomes, including social - emotional health.15 The Adverse Childhood Experience Study surveyed 17000 adults about early traumatic and stressful experiHealth demonstrated a strong linear relationship between increasing number of psychosocial risks and many poor health outcomes, including social - emotional health.15 The Adverse Childhood Experience Study surveyed 17000 adults about early traumatic and stressful experihealth outcomes, including social - emotional health.15 The Adverse Childhood Experience Study surveyed 17000 adults about early traumatic and stressful experihealth.15 The Adverse Childhood Experience Study surveyed 17000 adults about early traumatic and stressful experiences.

Children who experience poverty, particularly during early life or for an extended period, are at risk of a host of adverse health and developmental outcomes through their life course.1 Poverty has a profound effect on specific circumstances, such as birth weight, infant mortality, language development, chronic illness, environmental exposure, nutrition, and injury.

Bright Futures, the AAP health promotion initiative, provides resources for pediatricians to detect both ACEs and adverse developmental outcomes.36 Programs like Reach Out and Read, in which pediatricians distribute books and model reading, simultaneously promote emergent literacy and parent — child relationships through shared reading.37, 38 However, ACEs can not be addressed in isolation and require collaborative efforts with partners in the education, home visitation, and other social service sectors in synergistic efforts to strengthen families.29 In this way, programs like Help Me Grow39 that create streamlined access to early childhood services for at - risk children can play a critical role in building an integrated system that connects families to needed resources to enhance the development of vulnerable children.

Cannabis use can be a significant contributor to poor mental health, particularly when it begins at a young age.4, 5 The adverse mental health effects of cannabis use in the general population are increasingly recognised, including anxiety, depression, 6 — 8 psychotic disorders, 4, 9 — 12 dependence6, 7, 13 withdrawal14, 15 and cognitive impairment.16, 17 Starting to use cannabis before age 15 is associated with an increased likelihood of developing later psychotic disorders, increased risk of dependence, other drug use, and poor educational and psychosocial outcomes.5

The overall objective is to assess the impact of numerous adverse childhood experiences on a variety of health behaviors and outcomes and health care use.23 The ACE Study was approved by the institutional review boards of Kaiser Permanente, Emory University, and the Office of Protection from Research Risks, National Institutes of Hhealth behaviors and outcomes and health care use.23 The ACE Study was approved by the institutional review boards of Kaiser Permanente, Emory University, and the Office of Protection from Research Risks, National Institutes of Hhealth care use.23 The ACE Study was approved by the institutional review boards of Kaiser Permanente, Emory University, and the Office of Protection from Research Risks, National Institutes of HealthHealth.

Relative to children with no ACEs, children who experienced ACEs had increased odds of having below - average academic skills including poor literacy skills, as well as attention problems, social problems, and aggression, placing them at significant risk for poor school achievement, which is associated with poor health.23 Our study adds to the growing literature on adverse outcomes associated with ACEs3 — 9,24 — 28 by pointing to ACEs during early childhood as a risk factor for child academic and behavioral problems that have implications for education and health trajectories, as well as achievement gaps and health disparities.

Felitti and colleagues1 first described ACEs and defined it as exposure to psychological, physical or sexual abuse, and household dysfunction including substance abuse (problem drinking / alcoholic and / or street drugs), mental illness, a mother treated violently and criminal behaviour in the household.1 Along with the initial ACE study, other studies have characterised ACEs as neglect, parental separation, loss of family members or friends, long - term financial adversity and witness to violence.2 3 From the original cohort of 9508 American adults, more than half of respondents (52 %) experienced at least one adverse childhood event.1 Since the original cohort, ACE exposures have been investigated globally revealing comparable prevalence to the original cohort.4 5 More recently in 2014, a survey of 4000 American children found that 60.8 % of children had at least one form of direct experience of violence, crime or abuse.6 The ACE study precipitated interest in the health conditions of adults maltreated as children as it revealed links to chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung and liver diseases, and cancer in adulthood.1 Since then, further evidence has revealed relationships between ACEs and physical and mental health outcomes, such as increased risk of substance abuse, suicide and premature mortality.4 7

The higher risk for maternal postpartum depression is also associated with reduced parenting skills, which may have negative consequences for the development of the child.28 — 30 Parents of obese children may lack effective parenting skills providing both a consistent structured frame and emotional support.31 In women with GDM, psychosocial vulnerability including low levels of social and family networks is associated with more adverse neonatal outcomes, especially increased birth weight.32 Thus, there is a tight interaction between maternal lifestyle, weight status, mental health, social support as well as between maternal and child's overall health.

Because a large proportion of children most at risk for adverse developmental outcomes are also children covered by the Medicaid program (Title XIX) and the State Child Health Insurance Program (Title XXI), these 2 governmental programs potentially have a major role in determining what services are provided and how they are paid for.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study looked at over 17000 middle class, middle - aged Americans (average age in the 50s) and found dose - dependent associations between the number of adverse childhood experiences (see Table 1) and a wide array of outcomes, including markers for social functioning, sexual health, mental health, risk factors for common diseases, and prevalent diseases (see Table 2).4, 6 The retrospective ACE Study and several smaller but prospective studies indicate that adverse experiences in childhood influence behavior, mental wellness, and physical health decades later.1,Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study looked at over 17000 middle class, middle - aged Americans (average age in the 50s) and found dose - dependent associations between the number of adverse childhood experiences (see Table 1) and a wide array of outcomes, including markers for social functioning, sexual health, mental health, risk factors for common diseases, and prevalent diseases (see Table 2).4, 6 The retrospective ACE Study and several smaller but prospective studies indicate that adverse experiences in childhood influence behavior, mental wellness, and physical health decades later.1,adverse childhood experiences (see Table 1) and a wide array of outcomes, including markers for social functioning, sexual health, mental health, risk factors for common diseases, and prevalent diseases (see Table 2).4, 6 The retrospective ACE Study and several smaller but prospective studies indicate that adverse experiences in childhood influence behavior, mental wellness, and physical health decades later.1,adverse experiences in childhood influence behavior, mental wellness, and physical health decades later.1, 2,5,10

Compared to non-LD peers, youth with LD frequently report feelings of loneliness, stress, depression and suicide, among other psychiatric symptoms.15, 16 For example, in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the LD sample was twice as likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year.16 Longitudinal research on risk - taking indicates that, compared to non-LD peers, adolescents with LD engage more frequently in various risk behaviours.17 Therefore, the presence of LD in childhood appears to confer a general risk for adverse outcomes throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

On social - emotional measures, foster children in the NSCAW study tended to have more compromised functioning than would be expected from a high - risk sample.43 Moreover, as indicated in the previous section, research suggests that foster children are more likely than nonfoster care children to have insecure or disordered attachments, and the adverse long - term outcomes associated with such attachments.44 Many studies of foster children postulate that a majority have mental health difficulties.45 They have higher rates of depression, poorer social skills, lower adaptive functioning, and more externalizing behavioral problems, such as aggression and impulsivity.46 Additionally, research has documented high levels of mental health service utilization among foster children47 due to both greater mental health needs and greater access to services.

Researchers looked at various Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's include (a) psychological abuse, (b) physical abuse, (c) sexual abuse, (d) substance abuse by a household family member, (e) mental illness of a household family member, (f) spousal or partner violence, and (g) criminal behaviour resulting in the incarceration of a household member) and how they are related to adulthood health risk behaviours and disease outcome.

Loneliness, or perceived social isolation, has repeatedly been associated with an increased risk of adverse somatic health outcomes, independent of depression and anxiety, in adults [26 — 30].

The timing and duration of depressive symptoms are likely to be associated with a varying risk of mood - related adverse outcomes relevant to maternal and child health.

Although no studies have yet examined whether maternal relationship quality during pregnancy is linked to the risk of infectious disease in the offspring, there is growing evidence from animal models that a link exists between prenatal maternal stress and a wide range of adverse health outcomes in the offspring, including immune dysfunction and infectious diseases [14,15].
