ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The study objective was to determine if maternal and paternal exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a significant association with negative offspring development at 24 months of age in a suburban pediatric primary care population.METHODS:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 311 mother-child and 122 father-child dyads who attended a large pediatric primary care practice. Children were born from October 2012 to June 2014, and data were collected at the 2-, 4-, and 24-month well-child visits. Multivariable Poisson regression with robust error variance was used to model the relationship between self-reported parental ACEs and the outcomes of suspected developmental delay at 24 months and eligibility for early intervention services.RESULTS:
For each additional maternal ACE, there was an 18% increase in the risk for a suspected developmental delay (relative risk 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.29). A similar trend was observed for paternal ACEs (relative risk 1.34, 95% confidence interval 1.07-1.67). Three or more maternal ACEs (versus <3 ACEs) was associated with a significantly increased risk for a suspected developmental delay that affected multiple domains. Similar effects were observed for early intervention services.CONCLUSIONS:
Parental ACE exposures can negatively impact child development in multiple domains, including problem solving, communication, personal-social, and motor skills. Research is needed to elucidate the psychosocial and biological mechanisms of intergenerational risk. This research has implications for the value of parental ACE screening in the context of pediatric primary care.
