Sunday, October 27, 2024
11:00 AM – 11:30 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2207
This paper provides a synthesis of the associations between adversity and adverse cardiovascular health outcomes experienced by young adults both in the US and globally. Studies show an association between childhood adversity and early cardiovascular health risk among adolescents and young adults, further impacted by intersectional identities.

Learning Objectives:

  1. 1. Understand how childhood trauma and adversity is associated with poor health outcomes among adolescents and young adults in the United States.
  2. 2. Explore the current literature investigating associations between childhood adversity and cardiovascular health among adolescents and young adults globally.
  3. 3. Explore implications for social work research, practice, and policy to address health disparities of minoritized adolescents and young adults following childhood adversity.
