This beginning course describes the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, a landmark study linking childhood adversity with health outcomes decades later in life. This study, published in 1998, is the first study of its kind that links highly stressful experiences during childhood with physical, mental, and behavioral outcomes representing the top ten reasons for morbidity and early mortality. The course will also examine the social and economic factors contributing to overall health and well-being, often referred to as the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) which affect individuals over the life course.
