A recent study conducted by researchers from Temple University explores the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and neighborhood determinants of health. The study found that individuals who have experienced four or more ACEs tend to live in neighborhoods with higher poverty rates, fewer socioeconomic resources, worse food access, poorer perceived physical and mental health, higher rates of substance overdose deaths, higher crime rates, and less green space. These findings suggest that neighborhood environments may play a role in the association between ACEs and poor physical and psychological health outcomes. The researchers recommend considering these neighborhood factors when developing interventions and policies to address ACEs and improve health outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
