Beginning in the 1990s, Anda and Felitti began to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACES) and later adult medical disease, psychiatric disorders and sexual behavior. Over a decade’s worth of research with older adults in a medical population have now shown that adverse childhood experiences are very common and are linked with later medical and psychological outcomes (Anda & Felitti, 2003). An examination of the current research literature shows that the majority of research on ACES has been conducted with an older adult population in a medical setting. There is minimal published research examining these factors within a young adult college population which could shed light on the overall development of these medical conditions throughout the lifespan. The current study will evaluate the relationship between early adverse childhood experiences and later social and emotional variables that have been found to be a significant part of college students’ lives. Specifically, the current study will examine the variables of anxiety, sexual behavior and functioning and occurrences of intimate partner violence. Understanding the relationship between ACES and those behaviors that are predominant for young adults can lead to early interventions and preventions aimed at decreasing those negative health risks later in life.
