The contribution of childhood adversities to the persistence of severe role impairment among college students: a follow-up study.

Purpose: While the association between childhood adversities (CAs) and negative mental health outcomes is robustly supported throughout the epidemiological literature, little is known about their contribution to the persistence of role impairment. The present study aims to investigate the association of three facets of CAs with the persistence of severe role impairment among college students using a follow-up design.

Methods: Data were drawn from the French portion of the World Mental Health International College Student Initiative.
