The prevalence and profiles of adverse childhood experiences and their associations with adult mental health outcomes in China: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are common and associated with mental disorders. However, the prevalence and co-occurrence of ACEs and their association with mental health outcomes among Chinese adults have not been well demonstrated.

Methods

China Mental Health Survey, a cross-sectional nationally representative survey consisting of 28,140 adults, was conducted from July 2013 to March 2015. Twelve ACEs and mental health outcomes, including mood disorder, anxiety disorder, substance-use disorder, and suicide were measured using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) 3.0 in a weighted representative subsample of 9378 respondents. Latent class analysis was used to identify the co-occurrence profiles of ACEs, and logistic regression was applied
