Summary: | We assess the association between a child's exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the parent's current experiences of emotional support.
This study used pooled cross-sectional data from the National Survey of Children's Health (N = 129,988). Emotional support for the parent was classified by the presence (any emotional support, no emotional support) and type (any formal support or only informal support). All models were adjusted for relevant predisposing, enabling, and need factors.
Having two or more ACEs was associated with a higher probability of any emotional support (average marginal effect = 0.017; 95% confidence interval = 0.002–0.032) and a higher probability of formal support (average marginal effect = 0.049; 95% confidence interval = 0.028–0.069). Several individual ACEs were associated with the presence and type of emotional support.
Parents of children with higher ACEs are likelier to have emotional support, especially formal support. |
