The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model
BACKGROUND: The Whole Child approach and the coordinated school health (CSH) approach both address the physical and emotional needs of students. However, a unified approach acceptable to both the health and education communities is needed to assure that students are healthy and ready to learn. METHODS: During spring 2013, the ASCD (formerly known as the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) and the US Centers for Disease Control…
Reduced Disparity in Vegetable Consumption in 16 Disadvantaged Black Communities
Developing an Integrated Strategy to Reduce Ethnic and Racial Disparities in the Delivery of Clinical Preventive Services for Older Americans
Objectives. To determine the optimum strategy for increasing up-to-date (UTD) levels in older Americans, while reducing disparities between White, Black, and Hispanic adults, aged 65 years and older. Methods. Data were analyzed from the 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, quantifying the proportion of older Americans UTD with influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, mammograms, Papanicolaou tests, and colorectal cancer screening. A c…
Adverse childhood experiences are associated with the risk of lung cancer
Adverse childhood experiences may be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, particularly premature death from lung cancer. The increase in risk may only be partly explained by smoking suggesting other possible mechanisms by which ACEs may contribute to the occurrence of lung cancer
Decreasing disparity in cholesterol screening in minority communities—findings from the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010
BACKGROUND: Highly controlled research projects demonstrated success in preventing and controlling cardiovascular diseases. Community-based programs have yet to demonstrate significant influence. Data on large-scale community-level interventions targeting minority communities are limited. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH 2010) project, a community-based intervention to e…
Decreases in Smoking Prevalence in Asian Communities Served by the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (Reach) Project
Objectives. We examined trends in smoking prevalence from 2002 through 2006 in 4 Asian communities served by the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) intervention. Methods. Annual survey data from 2002 through 2006 were gathered in 4 REACH Asian communities. Trends in the age-standardized prevalence of current smoking for men in 2 Vietnamese communities, 1 Cambodian community, and 1 Asian American/Pacific Islander (API) commun…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and the Risk of Premature Mortality
The relationship of adverse childhood experiences to a history of premature death of family members
Adverse childhood experiences may be an indicator of a chaotic family environment that results in an increased risk of premature death among family members
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Adults
Adverse childhood experiences and prescription drug use in a cohort study of adult HMO patients
ACEs substantially increase the number of prescriptions and classes of drugs used for as long as 7 or 8 decades after their occurrence. The increases in prescription drug use were largely mediated by documented ACE-related health and social problems
Explaining the Decrease in U.S. Deaths from Coronary Disease, 1980–2000
BACKGROUND: Mortality from coronary heart disease in the United States has decreased substantially in recent decades. We conducted a study to determine how much of this decrease could be explained by the use of medical and surgical treatments as opposed to changes in cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: We applied a previously validated statistical model, IMPACT, to data on the use and effectiveness of specific cardiac treatments and on changes …
Adverse childhood experiences and the association with ever using alcohol and initiating alcohol use during adolescence
The enduring effects of abuse and related adverse experiences in childhood
Long-Term Consequences of Childhood Sexual Abuse by Gender of Victim
Childhood Residential Mobility and Multiple Health Risks During Adolescence and Adulthood
BACKGROUND: Throughout US history, US society has been characterized by its high degree of residential mobility. Previous data suggest a relationship between mobility and increased health risk, but this relationship might be confounded by unmeasured adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship of childhood residential mobility to health problems during adolescence and adulthood and to determine how much these appa…
The interrelatedness of multiple forms of childhood abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction
Insights Into Causal Pathways for Ischemic Heart Disease
Background— The purpose of this study was to assess the relation of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, to the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and to examine the mediating impact on this relation of both traditional IHD risk factors and psychological factors that are associated with ACEs. Methods and Results— Retrospective cohort survey data were collected from 17 337 adult health plan m…
Childhood Abuse, Neglect, and Household Dysfunction and the Risk of Illicit Drug Use
Objective. Illicit drug use is identified in Healthy People 2010 as a leading health indicator because it is associated with multiple deleterious health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted diseases, human immunodeficiency virus, viral hepatitis, and numerous social problems among adolescents and adults. Improved understanding of the influence of stressful or traumatic childhood experiences on initiation and development of drug abuse is needed.…
The relationship of exposure to childhood sexual abuse to other forms of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction during childhood
The impact of adverse childhood experiences on health problems
Prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome Among US Adults
CONTEXT: The Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (ATP III) highlights the importance of treating patients with the metabolic syndrome to prevent cardiovascular disease. Limited information is available about the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the United States, however. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of the metabolic syn…
Childhood Abuse, Household Dysfunction, and the Risk of Attempted Suicide Throughout the Life Span
CONTEXT: Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, but identifying persons at risk is difficult. Thus, the US surgeon general has made suicide prevention a national priority. An expanding body of research suggests that childhood trauma and adverse experiences can lead to a variety of negative health outcomes, including attempted suicide among adolescents and adults. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between the risk of suicid…
