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 four of the 26 that she found for August. This is just part of them. You can read them all here.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adolescent Police Contact in the United Kingdom
Pediatrics 2022. e2021055889. 10.1542/peds.2021-055889 DOI: 10.1542/peds.2021-055889
Accumulating ACEs at ages 5 and 7 years are associated with a significant increase in the odds of experiencing police stops by age 14 years, with 3 or more ACEs corresponding to a 100% increase in the odds of police stops.

The epigenetic impact of adverse childhood experiences through the lens of personalized medicine
Epigenomics (2022) 14(8), 425–429. DOI: 10.2217/epi-2022-0041
Despite the known impact of ACEs on individual health and treatment outcomes, this understanding has yet to be incorporated into standard medical practice. Many clinicians do not know of the strong association between ACEs and disease, many are worried that they might upset or trigger anxiety in their patient by asking and many feel they do not have the tools to help patients with high ACE scores.

Academic Outcomes Among Children Who Experienced or Were Exposed to Physical Abuse.
J Interpers Violence. 2022 Jun 2:8862605221101185. PMID: 35653186
Of 1740 Minnesota 8-10 year-olds who were either evaluated for physical abuse by CPS, or were a sibling exposed to child physical abuse, with matched controls, both CPS-involved children and their siblings showed less school attendance over the 4 years of the study than the control group. In addition, both CPS-involved children and their siblings showed declines in reading and math proficiency if they were exposed to IPV. “Siblings of maltreated children are in need of greater attention with respect to assessment and service delivery in the child protection system…they may exhibit feelings of guilt because they were not directly maltreated and/or helplessness because they could not stop the abuse, which may translate into symptoms of depression or anxiety, may lead to behavioral challenges, and possibly to the avoidance of the school environment.”

The relationship between childhood maltreatment and mental health problems: coping strategies and social support act as mediators.
BMC Psychiatry. 2022 May 27;22(1):359. PMID: 35619058
In this national Canadian study, both external positive social support (attachment, guidance, reliable alliance, social integration, and reassurance of worth) and more importantly internal positive coping skills (self-perceived ability to handle unexpected and difficult problems as well as day-to-day demands) acted as direct and indirect buffers between childhood maltreatment and adult major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and suicidality.

Racism and pediatric health outcomes.
Curr Probl Pediatr Adolesc Health Care. 2021 Oct;51(10):101087. PMID: 34711499
“Racism - a system operating at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, and structural level - is a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents. This narrative review highlights racism as a social determinant of health, and describes how racism breeds disparate pediatric health outcomes in infant health, asthma, Type 1 diabetes, mental health, and pediatric surgical conditions.”
