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 childhood outcomes at the intersection of
learning, behavior, and health.29 We found that ACEs 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, experiencing ≥ 3 ACEs was associated
with below - average performance or problems in every outcome examined.

with differential exposure.9 — 12 This paper focuses on associations between specific aspects of children's physical environments — access to improved water and sanitation (W&S)-- and childhood development as measured by performance on a test of receptive
