AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals compared to hearing individuals, with a focus on data from a large U.S. survey.
- Findings indicate that DHH individuals aged 25 to 64 are significantly more likely to report high-risk ACEs, while younger and older groups do not show significant differences.
- The research emphasizes the importance of implementing trauma-informed care and improving access to ACE screenings specifically for DHH populations.
Article Abstract
Background: The adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) screening tool is a research measure that has not been frequently employed within the scientific literature addressing deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) populations.
Objective: To evaluate whether those who are DHH are more likely to cross-sectionally report a high-risk number of ACEs than those who are not DHH.
Methods: Data consisting of a weighted total of n = 24,797,770 US adults' responses to the 2021 BRFSS survey were utilized for this study.
Results: The DHH-ACE association was effect modified by age group. In the 25-to-34 (aOR = 2.98; 95 % aOR CI: 1.81, 4.92; P < 0.0001), 35-to-44 (aOR = 3.17; 95 % aOR CI: 1.98, 5.08; P < 0.0001), 45-to-54 (aOR = 1.74; 95 % aOR CI: 1.23, 2.45; P = 0.0016), and 55-to-64-year-old (aOR = 1.85; 95 % aOR CI: 1.41, 2.42; P < 0.0001) age groups, those who are DHH were significantly more likely than their same-age hearing peers to report a high-risk number of ACEs. The findings for the 18-24 years and 65+ age groups were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the need for trauma-informed care and improved early intervention and ACEs screenings for the DHH population.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have diverse effects on physical development and mental health. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the quantity of ACE exposure, type of ACE exposure, and subjective level of stress felt, correlated with event-related potential activity across the scalp, while controlling for relevant confounding variables. Fifty-three participants aged 18-32 years completed questionnaires assessing their current mental health, self-regulation, childhood socioeconomic status, and history of traumatic events.

Introduction: Learned helplessness often arises when an individual feels that a challenging situation is inescapable. Childhood trauma can lead to feelings of learned helplessness in youth and adulthood. Resiliency theory suggests that positive experiences in childhood and adulthood may counteract traumatic experiences in childhood and reduce learned helplessness and promote learned optimism, the antithesis of learned helplessness.

Introduction: The well-being of trauma-affected children and youth in residential care settings is contingent upon the well-being of the workers who care for them, who are increasingly expected to provide care in a trauma-informed manner. The well-being of residential care workers (RCWs) may be impacted by their own histories of adversity, their capacity individually and collectively to navigate to resources that sustain their well-being (resilience), and current perceptions of their professional quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to fill a research gap by canvassing the perspectives of RCWs to determine what and how they need to be supported in their work.
The association between the COVID-19 pandemic and interpersonal relationships among youth with a child maltreatment history.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on youth health and well-being. Youth with prior inequities, such as those exposed to child maltreatment, may have experienced greater psychosocial challenges and long-term difficulties than their peers, including sustained interpersonal relationships problems. Given the importance of healthy relationships during adolescence and early adulthood, the significant impact the pandemic had on youth, and the potential disproportionate challenges for youth with a child maltreatment history, the purpose of the present study was to better understand changes in relational conflict among youth with and without a child maltreatment history from the perspectives of youth themselves.

Background: Despite increasing fatal stimulant poisoning in the United States, little is understood about the mechanism of death. The psychological autopsy (PA) has long been used to distinguish the manner of death in equivocal cases, including opioid overdose, but has not been used to explicitly explore stimulant mortality.
Objective: We aimed to develop and implement a large PA study to identify antecedents of fatal stimulant poisoning, seeking to maximize data gathering and ethical interactions during the collateral interviews.
