Ed. note: Dr. Harise Stein at Stanford University edits a website — abuseresearch.info ([link removed]) — that focuses on the health effects of abuse, and includes research articles on PACEs science. Every month, she posts summaries of the abstracts and links to research articles that address only PACEs. Here are 5 of the 32 that she found for this week. You can read them all here ([link removed]) .
Bullinger LR, Boy A, Feely M, et al.
Home, but Left Alone: Time at Home and Child Abuse and Neglect During COVID-19. ([link removed])
Journal of family issues. 2023;44(2):338-62. PMID: 36743830 ([link removed])
Using Georgia data during the pandemic, “referrals plummeted by 58% relative to previous years, driven by fewer referrals from education personnel. After this initial decline, however, each 15 minutes at home was associated with an increase in referrals of material neglect by 3.5% and supervisory neglect by 1%...Supervisory neglect is difficult for CPS to address, especially in the context of COVID-19 where there are limited resources to fix the novel issues facing families…This finding points to the need for greater resources to support parents and children inside their homes.”
de la Rosa R, Zablotny D, Ye M, et al.
Biological Burden of ACEs in Children. ([link removed])
Psychosom Med. 2023 Feb-Mar 01;85(2):108-117. PMID: 36728584 ([link removed])
Authors used a framework of physiologic “allostatic load” (measuring metabolic, immune, neurologic, and cardiovascular blood markers of health) in 207 children to assess the burden of ACEs, with increased allostatic load especially correlated with caregiver mental illness, poorer perceived general health, and increased odds of child obesity.

Moving beyond lifestyle: the case for childhood adversity, social determinants of health, and psychosocial factors in cardiovascular risk prediction. ([link removed])
Eur Heart J. 2023;44(7):594-7. PMID: 36480299 ([link removed])
In this editorial, “We believe there is currently a disproportionate emphasis on CVD risk factors at the individual level and an under-focus on larger societal factors…Now is the time to reconsider adverse childhood experiences, social determinants of health, and psychosocial factors previously used to represent risk modifiers and convert them to formal CVD risk factors and metrics for modelling; these three domains are inter-related with one another as well as with traditional lifestyle risk factors.”

Storrie CL, Kitissou K, Messina A.
The Effects of Severe Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse on Adult Socioeconomic Prosperity. ([link removed])
Journal of child & adolescent trauma. 2023;16(1):55-68. PMID: 36776634 ([link removed])
Using national data, “We find adults who suffered physical abuse in childhood are more likely to live in poverty. Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse are less likely to finish high school and more likely to live in poverty. The likelihood of high school noncompletion increases when the individual suffered both forms of abuse…the negative socioeconomic impact in adulthood is larger for women than for men.”
Pernebo K, Almqvist K.
Reduced Posttraumatic Stress in Mothers Taking Part in Group Interventions for Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence. ([link removed])
Violence Vict. 2023 Feb 1;38(1):130-147. PMID: 36717191 ([link removed])
“This study investigated whether interventions for children exposed to intimate partner violence combining parallel groups for children and mothers contribute to positive outcomes for partaking mothers. 39 Swedish mothers reported medium- to large-sized decrease in psychological symptoms, including symptoms of posttraumatic stress, postintervention. During the follow-up period, sustained and further decrease of symptoms was reported. Mothers also reported decreased exposure to violence. Results indicate that these child-focused programs have major and sustainable positive effects on mothers' psychological health.”
