A new UCLA-led study on the impact of ACEs on adult health outcomes found that early-life stressors affect long-term health in ways that are both s*x- and stressor-specific. These findings highlight that individual experiences with trauma can shape adult health, offering insights that may lead to more personalized and effective health interventions. We’re eager to see where this research takes us!

Interestingly, some research suggests that while older people show declines in attention and memory, they learn to focus more on positive memories, which might give them an advantage in response to traumatic events.

Americans’ Struggle with Mental Health We explore why rates of anxiety and depression are higher than they were before the pandemic.

In this week's landmark advisory declaring firearm violence a public health crisis, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy noted that “high levels of exposure to firearm violence for both children and adults give rise to a cycle of trauma and fear within our communities, contributing to the nation’s mental health crisis.”
