In 1990s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente initiated the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, which has interviewed over 18,000 adults about their current health status.  The participants were then asked about whether they had experienced childhood trauma, including being a victim of child abuse or neglect or living in a household with domestic violence, mental illness, or substance abuse.  The results of that study showed startling correlations between the incidence of childhood trauma and serious adult health problems such as tobacco use, substance abuse, obesity, cancer, heart disease and depression as well as high risk for unintended pregnancies.  For example, those adults who acknowledged having experienced four or more adverse childhood events were almost 17 times more likely to have attempted suicide." http://www.congressweb.com/t/a/?ZZYPGYJOUXKYXVB www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
