This study aims to examine factors related to emotional abuse, an understudied type of intimate partner violence (IPV), among a sample of college students. 601 undergraduates from one large public university in the Midwestern United States (Spring 2017) and 756 undergraduates from one large public university in the Southern United States (Fall 2019) participated in the study. Participants completed an online survey measuring demographic information, behavioral variables (viewing porn, alcohol consumption, and hooking up), and history of violence (witnessing a father abuse his spouse, emotional abuse history). Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses predicting emotional abuse victimization were conducted. Results indicate female, white, older students were more likely to report emotional abuse. Also, students witnessing their father abuse his spouse, frequent pornography use, increased alcohol use, and frequent hookups increased odds of emotional abuse. College campuses should consider emphasizing emotional abuse in IPV programing.

Objective: Alcohol use offers social benefits for young adults, but also carries risk of significant negative consequences. Better understanding of processes driving alcohol use for those who experience negative consequences can prevent these harms. These at-risk young adults likely have drinking patterns in common and patterns unique to each individual.

Background: According to the World Health Organization, dementia is one of the leading causes of death and at least 55 million people worldwide currently have dementia. Therefore, identifying the factors that increase the risk of developing dementia, but also those that protect against it, as well as the mechanisms underlying these effects, are essential for prevention and the development of interventions.
Method: Literature findings underline the detrimental effects of early adverse experiences on a variety of later-life biopsychosocial outcomes, including brain and cognition.
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and dementia share common risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and depression, indicating a complex interplay in their etiologies. This systematic review investigates the connections between early adversity (EA), such as low socioeconomic status (SES) and emotional abuse, and the development of CVD, focusing on how early-life experiences contribute to CVD comorbidity, a crucial factor in the development of dementia.
Method: Following the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive literature search in databases including Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and Global Health, covering publications from 2000 to November 2023.

Hotchkiss Brain Institute, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada.
Background: Of the 12 modifiable dementia risk factors established by the Lancet Commission, only one addresses early life. However, the brain is highly plastic in early life. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE)-physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and neglect-can result in long-term reductions in brain volume.
