Title of project:
Exploring the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and multiple risk behaviours (MRB) in adolescence
Proposal summary:
Adverse childhood experiences, or âACEsâ is a term which tells us if a young person has experienced any of a list of childhood adversities. We know that the more different ACEs people had experienced, the higher their risk of a range of negative physical and mental health outcomes is. Very little work has been done to test the predictors and outcomes of a wide ranging continuous score of multiple risk behaviours (MRB), so we are interested to see how well childhood ACEs predicts adolescent MRB.
Impact of research:
This will result in an MSc. dissertation and a published paper.
