Adverse Childhood Experiences, Intimate Partner Violence Victimization, and Self-Perceived Health and Depression among College Students

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization, and three adulthood health outcomes—perceived physical and mental health and depression—among college students. We analyzed the direct effects of a sub...

Summary:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization, and three adulthood health outcomes—perceived physical and mental health and depression—among college students.
