Abstract: Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been identified as an important public health problem with serious implications. Less well understood is how distinct configurations of childhood adversities carry differential risks for mental health, emotional, and social outcomes later in life.

Subsequent analysis evidenced gender differences regarding CPTSD symptomatology, with girls exhibiting significantly higher rates of PTSD and DSO symptoms, as has been shown in studies in adults (e.g.…”

“…The objectives of this study are therefore to (a) examine the associations between ACEs and adult human capital, and (b) explore how the measurement of ACEs may vary in relation to these human capital outcomes. Prior research, including studies using this cohort, have highlighted sex differences in the prevalence of ACEs and their associations with outcomes [17,24,[27][28][29][30]. The patterning of ACEs and their links to human capital outcomes will be disaggregated by sex throughout this analysis.…”
