Our findings add insight into the pathways linking early
childhood adversity to poor adult wellbeing.29 Complementing past work that focused on physical health, 9 our findings provide information about links between ACEs and early

experienced in early
childhood were associated
with poor foundational skills, such as language and literacy, that predispose individuals to low educational attainment and adult literacy, both of which are related to poor health.23, 30 — 33 Attention problems, social problems, and aggression were also associated
with ACEs and also have the potential to interfere
with children's educational
experience given known associations between self - regulatory behavior and academic achievement.34, 35 Consistent
with the original ACE study and subsequent research, we found that exposure to more ACEs was associated
with more
adverse outcomes, suggesting a dose — response association.3 — 8 In fact,

childhood experiences,
with the prevalence of this phenocopy being heavily skewed towards populations living
with poverty and violence.

with suicidal behaviors, and depression has as well.1,50 - 62 Moreover, previous reports from the ACE Study have demonstrated strong, graded relationships between the number of
adverse childhood experiences and the risk of alcohol or illicit substance abuse and depressive disorders.23, 24,28 Although a temporal relationship between the onset of substance abuse or depressive disorders and lifetime suicide attempts in the ACE Study cohort is uncertain, our analysis of the potential mediating effects of these known risk factors provides evidence that for some persons,
adverse childhood experiences play a role in the development of substance abuse or depression.

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
