The Effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences on the Health of Current Smokers: 2012 North Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 6/3/144:00 AM

The objective of this study was to measure the additional risk posed by ACE exposures on poor health outcomes among current smokers.

.....A key finding of this study is that only among smokers with the High ACE group did the results show significant worsening of health, as compared to smokers in the Low ACE group or the No ACE group. By comparison, findings from the state study revealed that individuals in both the Low and High ACE groups had significant excess risk for chronic disease, perceived poor health and health risk behaviors.
