Abstract

Data from 193 dyads of college students and their caregivers showed a continuity of childhood adversity across generations. However, respective associations of ACEs with mood and somatic symptoms varied by generation. These findings are relevant to the long-term recall of childhood adversity in later adulthood and mental and physical well-being.
