Abstract in brief

  • The study surveyed adults about their childhood experiences of abuse and household dysfunction, finding that over half reported at least one adverse experience, with a quarter reporting two or more.
  • There is a clear, graded link between the number of adverse childhood experiences and increased risks for various unhealthy behaviors and health issues in adulthood, such as addiction, depression, and physical health problems.
  • Specifically, individuals with four or more adverse childhood experiences face significantly higher risks—up to 12 times greater—for serious health and behavioral problems compared to those with none.
