Who could benefit from this research

Could help

Children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and are part of ongoing studies or programs linked to ACEs research.

Less likely to help

Individuals not involved in ACEs research or those without access to participating sites may not directly benefit.

What this research studies

This grant supports a coordinated group of researchers who recruit participants, collect diverse data, and analyze information to understand how adverse childhood experiences shape health over time. It focuses on building a shared databank with common measures of social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and mental health, in collaboration across disciplines. The goal is to inform prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery strategies for individuals affected by ACEs.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could improve how clinicians and educators prevent and respond to the effects of childhood adversity.

How similar studies have gone: Past ACEs research has shown that multi-method data collection can reveal important links between early adversity and later health outcomes; this core aims to streamline and enhance those efforts.
