Article Synopsis
- The study explores how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and resilience impact children's health, revealing that 19.8% of kids had 4 or more ACEs and some had concerning health metrics like obesity and hypertension.
- Higher levels of ACEs and lower resilience were linked to more behavioral health issues, while resilience was a strong predictor of positive behavioral health outcomes.
- Interventions that focus on developing personal resilience in children may help reduce behavioral health symptoms effectively.
The relationship between Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), resilience, and health outcomes has not been as thoroughly studied in adolescents. Adolescents completed the ACEs Questionnaire and a validated resilience measure (Child Youth Resilience Measure, or CYRM). Poor health outcome was having 1 or more: obesity, hypertension, and/or depression.
