Population Attributable Fractions of Psychiatric Disorders and Suicide Ideation and Attempts Associated With Adverse Childhood Experiences

Population attributable fractions were calculated using data from the US National Comorbidity Survey Replication to determine the proportion of psychiatric disorders & suicide ideation & attempts attributable to adverse childhood experiences. The analysis was stratified by gender. Having experienced any adverse event accounted for a substantial proportion of suicide ideation & attempts among women (16% & 50%, respectively) & men (21% & 33%, respectively). Substantial proportions of poor mental health outcomes were also attributable to increasing number of adverse events. (38 refs.)
