Abstract
The embedding of early-adversity in adult well-being was examined in Grenadian nutmeg workers, a low-middle-income country sample of rural workers. Mimicking findings of high-income country samples, greater early-life adversity was associated with poorer physical, mental health (education, substance use), and coping. The findings suggest a universality of effects of early-adversity.
