Abstract
We examined the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and prenatal depression among a diverse sample of women. Participants had a higher likelihood of prenatal depression per ACE count increase or if they reported 4+ ACEs. Each ACE domain (abuse, neglect, dysfunction) was associated with a higher likelihood of depression.
