Ed. note: Dr. Harise Stein at Stanford University edits a website — abuseresearch.info — 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 6 of the 37 that she found for this week. You can read them all here.

Child maltreatment and victimization. Handbook of clinical neurology. 2023;197:147-60. PMID: 37633707
“This chapter addresses one of the most societally pervasive consequences of child maltreatment which is known as the "cycle of victimization." This concept depicts the increased risk of maltreated individuals to victimize others later in life, both within and outside the family environment. To understand the architecture of this victimization cycle, the chapter further sheds light on neurocognitive mechanisms aiding different forms of victimization and the buffering role of social support that could help break the cycle of victimization.”

Developmental trajectories of speech and language in neglected children aged 3 to 5 years: Results of the ELLAN study. Child Abuse Negl. 2023;146:106448. PMID: 37722293
“Participants are 69 neglected children and 99 same age non-neglected peers (37 and 46 males respectively) recruited at 36 months of age. Data were collected at home…at six-month intervals between the ages of 3 and 5.5 years using psychometrically robust tools…A large proportion of neglected children present significant speech and language difficulties from the age of 3, but some of them catch up and develop similarly to non-neglected children.”

Child abuse and premature mortality: disrupting the harm cascade. Med J Aust. 2023 Oct 2;219(7):301-302. PMID: 37622210
In an editorial regarding the above article: “Disrupting the inter-generational transmission of trauma — whereby a parent who has suffered serious child abuse does not provide a safe and nurturing environment for their own child, despite their desperate wish to be a good parent — is critical. A regional family hub could provide a platform for improving the skills and capacity of health, education, justice, and social care workers and facilitate a whatever-it-takes service response, driven by a deep understanding of complex trauma to meeting the needs of distressed families in a timely fashion. While such a model may seem radical, something has to change. The terrible health, social, and monetary costs of child abuse and neglect are indefensible on ethical, medical, and financial grounds.”

Posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic events, and longitudinal eating disorder treatment outcomes: A systematic review. Int J Eat Disord. 2023 Jun;56(6):1055-1074. PMID: 36916450
From a research review, results indicated that while traumatic event exposure was associated with greater eating disorder treatment dropout and greater post-treatment relapse, individuals with a traumatic event history still benefited from treatment similarly to their unexposed peers.

Examining the Association Between Trauma Characteristics and Adult Depression and Anxiety: Analysis of Types, Variety, Repetition, and Timing of Past Trauma. J Interpers Violence. 2023:8862605231198056. PMID: 37728007
Of 356 community adults reporting on 5 types of childhood trauma, “On average, participants experienced two out of the five trauma types. Regardless of the type, having at least one traumatic experience was linked to higher depression and anxiety scores. Those who experienced all five trauma types reported the highest levels of depression and anxiety. Repeated instances of rape, witnessing trauma to loved ones, and the death of loved ones were significantly associated with elevated depression and anxiety scores.”

Childhood Trauma and Suicide. Crisis. 2023;44(5):433-41. PMID: 36537105
Of 457 UK individuals who reported experiencing suicide ideation in the past 12 months, “Childhood trauma and its subtypes were associated with an increased risk of reporting recent suicide thoughts, COVID-19-related suicide attempts, and recent suicide attempts. There were also significant indirect effects of childhood trauma on recent suicide ideation and well-being through executive functioning and impulsivity.”
