Childhood Trauma in the 8th Tromsø survey
Experiences of child abuse, neglect, and other traumatic events in childhood are common and can have a significant impact on health later in life. This study will help us understand how such experiences can lead to health problems such as stress, depression, cardiovascular diseases, and other serious illnesses in adulthood.
By including the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) in the Tromsø Study's 8th wave, we have a unique opportunity to examine how widespread these traumas are in the population and how they affect people's health in the long term. This provides us with important knowledge that can contribute to better prevention and treatment of health problems rooted in childhood.
