Abstract

Previous research has demonstrated that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) significantly influence mental health outcomes. Limited research exists on the relationship of ACEs to weather phobia and weather-related PTSD. Our study on 512 US adults found that adults with more ACEs experience more severe weather phobia and weather-related PTSD symptoms.
