We examine the impacts of childhood adversity on adult outcomes for women with and without childhood ADHD using an ethnically diverse sample of 140 participants with ADHD (Mage = 9.7) and 88 age- and ethnicity-matched comparison participants (Mage = 9.4). At adult follow- up, the sample included 211 of the original 228 participants (92.6% retention; Mage = 25.6). We used inclusive latent class analysis to identify profiles of childhood adversity; class membership was subsequently used in regression models to predict adult outcomes and ADHD persistence status. Key findings were as follows: (1) Four childhood adversity profiles emerged (Low Exposure, Familial Dysfunction, Maltreatment, Pervasive Exposure); (2) Compared with women with Low Exposure profile, those with Familial Dysfunction had significantly higher internalizing outcomes, whereas those in the Maltreatment and the Pervasive Exposure profiles were associated with lower global functioning and higher internalizing and externalizing behaviors; (3) Women with childhood ADHD in the Maltreatment profile were significantly more likely than those in the other profiles to show persistent ADHD in adulthood. Findings provide useful information about women who could be targeted for intervention; we discuss limitations and the need to investigate the confluence of neurodevelopmental conditions, like ADHD, and exposure to adverse child events.

Peer Violence

Multiple types of childhood adversities are risk factors for dating violence among college-age youth and in turn, dating violence is associated with alcohol use. This work quantitatively examines associations of childhood adversity and dating violence with alcohol use among college students using a cumulative stress approach. Multi-campus surveys were collected from March to December 2016 in four universities across the United States and Canada ( n = 3,710). Latent class analysis identified patterns of childhood adversity and dating violence. Regression analyses investigated the associations of latent class patterns with past year number of drinks, alcohol use frequency, and problematic drinking. Latent class analysis produced seven classes: “low violence exposure” (18.5%), “predominantly peer violence” (28.9%), “peer violence and psychological child abuse” (10.8%), “peer and parental domestic violence” (9.9%), “peer and psychological dating violence” (17%), “peer and dating violence” (6.6%), and “childhood adversity and psychological dating violence” (8.3%). Compared to the “low violence exposure” group, “peer and psychological dating violence” ( B = .114, p < .05), “peer and dating violence” ( B = .143, p < .05), and “childhood adversity and psychological dating violence” ( B = .183, p < .001) groups were significantly associated with problematic drinking. Results highlight how childhood adversity and dating violence contribute to problematic alcohol use, suggesting interventions that address both childhood adversity and dating violence may be most effective at reducing alcohol misuse among college students.

This study investigates college students’ exposure to messages about campus dating and sexual violence (DSV) to discover classes of students based on the message source. Latent class analysis was performed with data assessing 5,284 students’ exposure to 16 different sources of information regarding DSV, from having a professor discuss these topics to participating in related campus events. Several variables were included in the analysis to understand students’ class membership in relation to pertinent student demographic factors. The best model indicated that there are five classes of students based on their exposure to messages, with some subgroups of students having high exposure to various sources of messages about DSV while others have low exposure. Still other subgroups are primarily exposed to messages through nonactive or noninstitutional sources of information. Subgroups of students, based on their exposure to DSV messaging, also differ regarding demographic makeup. The implications from these results include the need to tailor DSV programming on campus to subgroups of students based on their varying baseline levels of message exposure. As students are exposed to messaging through differing sources, including passive and noninstitutional, institutions can use this information when designing outreach efforts to better fit with the needs of various subgroups of students.
