Social consequences and contexts of adverse childhood experiences

Social contexts and cross-national differences in association between adverse childhood experiences and frailty index

“…Cross-national differences may a reflect of divergence in macro-social contexts ( Linden et al, 2020 ; Verropoulou & Serafetinidou, 2019 ). Furthermore, micro-social contexts could alter a person's social companionship, social resources, stress reactivity and coping capacities, and then affect the cross-national differences of ACEs effects ( Trinidad, 2021 ). However, previous studies have left open the question of the role of micro-social context.…”

“…Micro-social contexts are also acknowledged as having a role in expanding or reducing the ACEs effects, and consequently cross-national differences in the ACEs effects ( Trinidad, 2021 ). The cross-national differences may not equally distribute across micro-social contexts.…”

“…The cross-national differences may not equally distribute across micro-social contexts. Micro-contexts refer to the context where ACEs happen and the context of the children who are accessible in one's social environment in life cycle ( Datar et al, 2023 ; Trinidad, 2021 ). The social mobility model has revealed that changes of the micro-social context over the life course will lead to variations in their health ( Dronavalli et al, 2023 ; Wang & Kang, 2019 ).…”

“…A more advantage micro-social context where ACEs happen usually suggest children can be less frequently affected by ACEs, and rely on additional socioeconomic resources and social support compensating adversities ( McEwen & McEwen, 2017 ; Wang et al, 2019 ). However, some studies suggest that those from disadvantaged backgrounds may learn from others and be able to cope with adversities better ( Hostinar & Miller, 2019 ; Trinidad, 2021 ). This raises imperatives for contextualizing ACEs while estimating the ACEs effects.…”

Adverse childhood experiences and deviant behaviors among Chinese rural emerging adults: the role of social support

“…The program Monitoring the Future (MTF) suggested that throughout the lifespan, the annual and 30-day prevalence of using any illicit drug are highest in their early 20s [ 13 , 14 ]. And ACEs could increase their risk of illicit drug use, binge drinking, gang involvement and crime [ 15 , 16 ]. Thus, investigating deviant behaviors and the impact of ACEs on it among Chinese rural emerging adults could help in preventions and interventions.…”
