- - ACEs are linked to an increased risk of health issues and harmful behaviors, with nearly half of young adults in a study reporting at least one ACE, and about 5.6% experiencing four or more ACEs.
- - The study found that individuals with a higher count of ACEs face significantly greater odds of negative outcomes, such as a 17-fold increased risk of suicide attempts, but supportive childhood relationships can mitigate some of these risks.
- - Emphasizing the importance of resilience, the study suggests that fostering supportive relationships during childhood could help reduce the long-term impacts of ACEs, highlighting the need for better prevention and intervention strategies.

Purpose: There are often high rates of mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries during humanitarian crises, but the prevalence of somatic distress (SD) is underreported in the existing health service research. We aim to examine the patterns of SD among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine, who were forcibly displaced due to the ongoing conflict in the country's eastern region.
Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional survey of 2203 adult IDPs throughout Ukraine.

Importance: The inverse social gradient in mental disorders is a well-established research finding with important implications for causal models and policy. This research has used traditional objective social status (OSS) measures, such as educational level, income, and occupation. Recently, subjective social status (SSS) measurement has been advocated to capture the perception of relative social status, but to our knowledge, there have been no studies of associations between SSS and mental disorders.
