Abstract

This project aimed to understand the association of adverse childhood experiences with post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic causing university shut-downs. A significant interaction effect between coping skills and shut-down timing emerged and coping skills were a unique predictor of lower PCL scores.
