Childhood trauma significantly increases the risk for leading causes of death in the US.
Trauma affects brain development, immune and hormonal systems, and DNA.
Childhood trauma includes abuse, neglect, and parental mental illness or substance dependence.
Many children in underserved neighborhoods are misdiagnosed with ADHD when they have experienced severe trauma.
The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACEs) found a correlation between ACE scores and health outcomes.
ACEs are common, with 67% of the population having at least one ACE.
High doses of adversity affect brain structure and function, immune and hormonal systems, and DNA.
ACEs can lead to high-risk behavior and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Routine screening and multidisciplinary treatment teams can help reduce the dose of adversity and treat symptoms.
Understanding the science of ACEs can help tailor care for patients with chronic illnesses.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a public health crisis in the US
ACEs affect health across a lifetime
ACEs can lead to disease and early death
ACEs are treatable and beatable
The US has a strong track record in addressing public health problems
Many people have experienced ACEs, regardless of race or education level
The issue is marginalized because it applies to many of us
Early adversity affects health dramatically
Interrupting the progression from early adversity to disease is possible
Courage is needed to address the problem and recognize that it affects us all
