Adverse Childhood Experiences Assessment

Cited 14 times

The ACE module (CDC, 2009b , 2010b ) consists of 11 items that assess exposure to nine types of ACEs, including verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, household mental illness, household alcohol abuse, household drug abuse, domestic violence, parental separation/divorce, and incarcerated family members (see Table 1). Details about the psychometrics of the ACE module are included in the Results section.

Cumulative Childhood Victimization Assessment

Cited 11 times

Exposure to several types of victimization was assessed repeatedly when the children were 5, 7, 10, and 12 years of age and dossiers have been compiled for each child with cumulative information about exposure to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; frequent bullying by peers; physical maltreatment by an adult; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; and physical neglect. Following Finkelhor et al. (30 (link)), for each child, our cumulative index counts the types of victimization experienced during the first 12 years of life. Details about these measurements have been reported previously(29 (link)). In addition to the above prospective measures of victimization, we assessed recall of victimization through the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ)(32 (link)) completed by Study members at the age–18 follow-up. Details about victimization measurements are available in the Supplement.

VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank for CTE

Cited 9 times

In 2008, as a collaboration among the VA Boston Healthcare System, Bedford VA, Boston University (BU) School of Medicine, and Sports Legacy Institute (now the Concussion Legacy Foundation [CLF]), a brain bank was created to better understand the long-term effects of repetitive head trauma experienced through contact sport participation and military-related exposure. The purpose of the brain bank was to comprehensively examine the neuropathology and clinical presentation of brain donors considered at risk of development of CTE. The institutional review board at Boston University Medical Campus approved all research activities. The next of kin or legally authorized representative of each brain donor provided written informed consent. No stipend for participation was provided. Inclusion criteria were based entirely on exposure to repetitive head trauma (eg, contact sports, military service, or domestic violence), regardless of whether symptoms manifested during life. Playing American football was sufficient for inclusion. Because of limited resources, more strict inclusion criteria were implemented in 2014 and required that football players who died after age 35 years have at least 2 years of college-level play. Donors were excluded if postmortem interval exceeded 72 hours or if fixed tissue fragments representing less than half the total brain volume were received (eFigure in the Supplement).
Clinical data were collected into a Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research–compliant database. Since tracking began in 2014, for 98 (81%) brain donations to the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank, the next of kin approached the brain bank near the time of death. The remaining brain donors were referred by medical examiners (11 [9%]), recruited by a CLF representative (7 [6%]), or participated in the Brain Donation Registry during life (5 [4%]) (eFigure in the Supplement).

Intimate Relationships and Drug Transitions

Women leaving home or becoming homeless at an early age were particularly vulnerable to predatory relationships with older men or romantic relationships of necessity and convenience. Prior studies found a particular association between intimate relationships as a source of increased violence and transitions into injection drug among females [67 (link)]. Consistent with these findings the women in this study frequently described how partners introduced them to drugs and were the catalyst to transition into “harder” drugs:

met a guy who was like 29 and he gave me heroin, like I’d never touched drugs in my life, he injected me, with heroin. I know. I had crack. I didn’t really know what I was taking. He introduced me to heroin at 15 (Gillian).

Intimate relationships were often based on the need for protection: “[partner’s name] is there all the time cos she protects us. She makes us like get up in the mornings and try and get ready and get washed, and stuff like that and she’ll like cooks for us and like she is there. If she hadn’t have been, I wouldn’t be here” (Carina).
Several women met their partners through drug networks and were subsequently coerced into drug dealing: [I met him] through different people in […], who were selling drugs and people knowing people and me being young he swept us off my feet, wined and dined us and I was a lot younger and – he used us basically, to his advantage. “Well if you do this, do that, I’ve got me third strike I’m out, you’ll have to sell this and that” (Delia).
Gillian illustrates the difficulty of getting away from the pull of street culture. Having had a relatively happy and stable relationship for several years, coinciding with better mental health, a job and sense of purpose, the end of that relationship swiftly led to her going back to where she felt a “connection”, a drug dealer who knew her which she associated with having a sense of belonging:

When I was with [partner] and we were both PT [Personal Trainers] everything was fine … my life was absolutely the best … No domestic violence or nothing. I was just happy … I was drug free, like totally, just normal just normal shit and he broke my heart and that and I ended up, like not back on heroin just crack. I started using cocaine and drinking and that you know, cos he left us. And then from then I went out like a coke dealer who I knew from all them years ago when I had [...] who used to serve us up. And I felt like a connection with him cos he knew us (Gillian).

Intimate relationships were entered into out of necessity, following crisis points (homelessness, death of previous partner) and women described partners exacerbating drug use, or precipitating further trauma and abuse.

Screening and Tracking Social Needs

The main outcome in this analysis was change in social needs at 12 and 24-weeks compared to baseline. Social needs were coded as a “1” if any social need was identified on the CMS Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool [30 (link),31 ] and “0” if none were identified. The social needs in the analysis included: 1) unstable or unsafe living situation; 2) food insecurity; 3) lack of transportation; 4) challenges with utilities; 5) physical safety; 6) financial strain; and 7) employment. The safety score was calculated from the 4 question HITS short domestic violence screening tool (a component of the CMS screening tool) with Likert scale answers from “Never” to “Frequently” with scores ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (Frequently) [45 (link)]. A score of 11 or more when the numerical values for answers to questions 7–10 were added showed that the person might not be safe and was coded as a “1,” as has been validated in women and men [45 (link),46 (link)].

Assessing Intimate Partner Violence

Individuals were asked about exposure to lifetime traumatic events including physical assault or abuse as an adult from an intimate partner and sexual assault or rape in adulthood, as described above. In addition, individuals also completed the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) domestic violence module which captures four distinct domains of IPV: controlling behavior and emotional, sexual, and physical IPV [37 ]. This tool is a modified version of the Conflict Tactics Scale and asks respondents if they have experienced 15 separate behaviorally-specific types of IPV [38 (link)]. In our prior work, we noted discrepancies between reports of physical and sexual violence on the DHS domestic violence module and the modified version of the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 used in the assessment of lifetime PTEs in this analysis [39 ]. Thus, we considered individuals who reported physical IPV with their most recent partner on the DHS domestic violence module, but did not report physical assault or abuse from a partner in adulthood on the PTE assessment to have experienced physical assault or abuse in adulthood from a partner in this analysis. Similarly, we considered individuals who reported sexual IPV with their most recent partner on the DHS domestic violence module but did not report sexual assault or rape as an adult on the PTE assessment to have experienced sexual assault or rape in adulthood.

Comprehensive Childhood Adversity Assessment

In our study, 11 items of ACEs were measured. Emotional, physical and sexual abuse and emotional and physical neglect were assessed by Chinese version of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF). Six items of family dysfunction (family members were addicted to gambling, drugs or alcohol; parents had been separated or divorced; mother suffered from domestic violence; family members had mental disorders; family members jailed for crimes; Family economy was extremely hard) were assessed through self-designed questions. If one item of ACEs was assessed as positive, it counted as one score. In our study, both binary outcome and cumulative scores of ACEs were used. The detailed description of ACEs measurement was presented in our previous study [38 (link)].

Overcoming Trauma and Trust Issues in Cambodia

We know from the literature and our experiences in Cambodia that the mental health of the Cambodian people is often challenged by a history of political trauma that is both severe and generational in its effects. It is generally understood that the Cambodian people have suffered due to mass genocide and its sequelae, and that they generally do not freely express mental health issues. These assertions are corroborated by the therapists’ descriptions. Therefore, clients may not present for mental health therapy unless they are experiencing symptoms severe enough to interfere with their everyday lives, rendering them functionally challenged.
According to participating therapists, clients come to treatment with significant trauma histories, as explained by Participant (hereafter P) 3:
…mostly they come with their trauma, especially from domestic violence, sexual abuse, traffic accidents, and problems about relationship and love. Also, some students grow up with their families, especially their parents, not understanding them, not supporting them. A wife comes and tells her husband she has another partner and then they would stay with their family, and fathers use violence against children a lot here. Last year, I worked mostly with victims of sexual abuse. Women who were sexually abused by males or sometime males sexually abused by males, by the priest, by the pastors… It’s what I focus on here, discrimination (Lines 21−29) … No matter what… we just work with the trauma experience (Line 99).
Significant trauma is an important theme because of its universal nature and widespread prevalence. The clients’ suffering is authentic, yet showing up for treatment is considered a sign of great courage and bravery on their part, especially because it is so difficult for them to trust the therapeutic process. Issues as described here, i.e., sexual abuse in any form or infidelity and subsequent guilt in remaining in the relationship with the marital partner, lead to psychological turmoil. Clients had serious dilemmas regarding help-seeking behaviors, as they may have been harmed during help-seeking experiences and/or received conflicting advice about trusting others. Participating therapists worked hard to establish and maintain trust, as the following expert indicates:
They say, “You should not share with other people. You might get hurt or they will use it and threaten you.” “You should not share” is sometimes the teaching here, for example… sharing with other people that you are depressed. There are those who you can trust… but there are many people that no, no, no, you cannot share with, you cannot trust anybody. You cannot trust anybody, so normally they hide it. I can say they hide it, but when they come to us, when they find a psychologist or when we start, everything is very confidential. There is no worry, and then they share with us a lot (P3, Lines 188−193).
Therapists brought up several ways by which an individual’s sharing of their mental health concerns could cause further problems for them, such as being subjected to stigmatization, discrimination, and violence. Several participants explained that generational PTSD and trust issues may be cultural responses to abuses by the Khmer Rouge regime:
I refer to the clients…who are of the generation after the Khmer Rouge regime and their parents. It is more about PTSD, and about trust issues after the Khmer Rouge, and the consequence after the war (P1, Lines 267−272).
In other words, lack of trust is a reflection of the lingering effects of the Khmer Rouge Cambodian genocide that have been transmitted across generations, from parents to their children. As such, therapists strive to build rapport and trust with their clients and help make their clients feel conformable by emphasizing that they are similar to others (e.g., “you’re just the same as any other human being” (P3, Line 206) and that the therapists are here to help. As P3 stated:
Therapists are here to help, but it’s not “I help you”; rather it is we. I say, “we together, we try our best to find a way to deal with the problems or help.”
Thus, clients receive help they need, but at a great cost due to the difficulty seeking it and the stigmatization that can result..

What are the different types of domestic violence?

Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse. Physical abuse involves the use of force, such as hitting, kicking, or burning. Emotional and psychological abuse involves things like verbal threats, isolation, or control over a person's everyday activities. Sexual abuse refers to any nonconsensual sexual activity, while financial abuse involves restricting a person's access to money or resources. It's important to recognize that domestic violence is not limited to just physical harm - the emotional and psychological impacts can be just as devastating.

What are some of the devastating consequences of domestic violence?

Domestic violence can have truly devasting consequences, both in the short and long-term. Victims may suffer physical injuries ranging from bruises and fractures to traumatic brain injury or even death. The emotional and psychological toll is also immense, with victims often experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and a profound sense of trauma. Domestic violence can also have rippling effects on children who witness the abuse, putting them at higher risk for developmental issues and future cycle of violence. Addressing this complex social and public health problem is critical to preventing these tragic outcomes.
