Childhood adversities and adult psychopathology in the WHO World Mental Health Surveys
Open accessAbstract
Background: Although significant associations of childhood adversities with adult mental disorders are widely documented, most studies focus on single childhood adversities predicting single disorders. Aims: To examine joint associations of 12 childhood adversities with first onset of 20 DSM–IV disorders in World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys in 21 countries. Method: Nationally or regionally representative surveys of 51 945 adults assessed childhood adversities and lifetime DSM–IV disorders with the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Results: Childhood adversities were highly prevalent and interrelated. Childhood adversities associated with maladaptive family functioning (e.g. parental mental illness, child abuse, neglect) were the strongest predictors of disorders. Co-occurring childhood adversities associated with maladaptive family functioning had significant subadditive predictive associations and little specificity across disorders. Childhood adversities account for 29.8% of all disorders across countries. Conclusions: Childhood adversities have strong associations with all classes of disorders at all life-course stages in all groups of WMH countries. Long-term associations imply the existence of as-yet undetermined mediators.

Work to address a single adverse childhood experience in children exposed to many might have little effect, with treatment and prevention of many health conditions requiring multiple underlying adverse childhood experiences to be addressed.
“Thus, work to address a single ACE in children exposed to many might have little effect, 51 with treatment and prevention of many health conditions requiring multiple underlying ACEs to be addressed.”
From The effect of multiple adverse childhood experiences on health: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2017) · cites this paper as [51]
The ‘Implications and future research’ section says that addressing only one adversity in people exposed to many is unlikely to have important effects, and suggests reducing exposure to all adversities. But the paper studies mental disorders, not many health conditions generally, and presents multi-adversity intervention as promising rather than required. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe World Mental Health Surveys across 21 countries found little variation in adverse childhood experience prevalence between country income groups, with 38-39% of participants reporting at least one adverse childhood experience and 2-3% reporting at least four.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPotentially traumatic childhood experiences are common, and most adolescents have had at least one.

From Interventions for prevention and treatment of substance use in youth with traumatic childhood experiences: a systematic review and synthesis of the literature (2024) · cites this paper as [3]
The Results section reports that childhood adversities were common: 38.4%–39.1% of respondents reported at least one. The paper assessed a defined set of adversities occurring before age 18, not all potentially traumatic events among adolescents; it therefore does not support the claim that a majority of adolescents had experienced one. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredChildhood adversity plays a causal role in most mental health problems in childhood and adulthood.
“Childhood adversity plays a causal role in most mental health problems in childhood (e.g., conduct disorder, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder) and in adulthood (e.g., depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, personality disorder, dissociative disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance misuse) [1,2] .”
From The traumagenic neurodevelopmental model of psychosis revisited (2014) · cites this paper as [1]
The Results section (page not provided) reports that childhood adversities predict first onset across the disorder classes studied and across childhood and adult life-course stages. But the Limitations section (page not provided) cautions that unmeasured common causes could explain these associations without causal effects. The paper therefore does not establish a causal role in most mental health problems, including all the disorders listed in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSumming of adverse childhood experiences is a recognised approach, but it does not account for potential variations in effects of different combinations of adverse childhood experiences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
