Latent Profiles of Childhood Adversity, Adolescent Mental Health, and Neural Network Connectivity.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Adverse childhood experiences are pervasive and heterogeneous, with potential lifelong consequences for psychiatric morbidity and brain health. Existing research does not capture the complex interplay of multiple adversities, resulting in a lack of precision in understanding their associations with neural function and mental health.

Objectives

To identify distinct childhood adversity profiles and examine their associations with adolescent mental health and brain connectivity.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based birth cohort used data for children who were born in 20 large US cities between 1998 and 2000 and participated in the Future Families and Child Well-Being Study. Families were interviewed when children were born and at ages 1, 3,
