“…Many types of life experiences can lead to trauma, including sexual assault, interpersonal violence, child abuse, military combat, and natural disasters ( Solomon & Davidson, 1997 ). While exposure to traumatic events can be found among the general population ( Felitti et al, 1998 ; Kessler et al, 1995 ), it is highly prevalent among vulnerable populations, including those in the criminal ( Carlson & Shafer, 2010 ; Jäggi et al, 2016 ; Salina et al, 2017 ) and juvenile justice systems ( Abram et al, 2004 ; Dierkhising et al, 2013 ; McNair et al, 2019 ), those in treatment for alcohol or substance use ( Giordano et al, 2016 ; Sanford et al, 2014 ; Simpson & Miller, 2002 ; Stewart, 1996 ; Wu et al, 2010 ), and those seeking mental health services ( Cusack et al, 2006 ; Goodman et al, 1997 ; Mauritz et al, 2013 ). Trauma has been shown to have broad impacts on both mental and physical health, including increasing the risk of alcoholism and substance use ( Felitti et al, 1998 ; Merrick et al, 2019 ; Wade et al, 2016 ), depression ( Felitti et al, 1998 ; Merrick et al, 2019 ; Norman et al, 2012 ; Wade et al, 2016 ), heart disease ( Jakubowski et al, 2018 ; Wade et al, 2016 ), cancer ( Kelly-Irving et al, 2013 ; Merrick et al, 2019 ), and early mortality ( Brown et al, 2009 ; Chen et al, 2016 ).…”
