Dr. Robert Anda's Presentation from the Regional Summit on Adverse Childhood ...SaintA
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study examined the health and social effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. The study found that ACEs are common, interrelated, and cumulatively impact health risk behaviors, disease, disability, and social well-being throughout life. Individual ACE scores, which indicate the number of different ACEs experienced, have a strong relationship with health outcomes like depression, suicide attempts, heart disease, cancer, and even early death. ACEs represent a leading public health issue and addressing them could significantly improve health nationwide.
Marijuana use among youth poses significant risks to brain development and mental health. Regular marijuana use is associated with cognitive decline across all domains even after years of abstinence. It can also increase the likelihood of developing psychiatric disorders like depression and psychosis. Prenatal marijuana exposure has been linked to lower birth weight, abnormal development and long term cognitive impairments in offspring. Overall, the evidence shows that marijuana jeopardizes the healthy development of youth.
This document summarizes key aspects of child development from a biological perspective. It discusses the interplay between nature and nurture, including evidence from twin, adoption and feral studies. Genetic foundations are explored, including chromosomes, DNA, genes and inheritance. Common genetic conditions are described. The document also notes reproductive challenges and choices such as diagnostic tests, infertility treatments and adoption. Key frameworks for understanding genetic influences on development are presented.

Adverse Childhood Experiences: What We Know About TennesseeHealth Easy Peasy
Early childhood experiences and environments can have significant impacts on brain development and long-term health and well-being. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, are unfortunately common and can disrupt brain architecture and increase health risks like heart disease and substance abuse later in life. However, protective factors like strong relationships and social support can help buffer children from trauma. Tennessee is working to increase awareness of ACEs and support children and families through strategies like universal home visiting programs and promoting positive parenting.
Tom Porpiglia presents on addictions and getting to the core issues. The document discusses addictions as dis-eases rather than diseases, caused by adverse childhood experiences that impact the mind-body connection. Porpiglia advocates treating the trauma underlying addictions, rather than just the symptoms, using a holistic approach like Emotional Freedom Techniques to resolve emotional wounds and reprogram beliefs. The goal is to reduce clients' pain and need to self-medicate by getting to and resolving the core issues driving their addictive behaviors.

This document provides information to help medical professionals recognize and diagnose child abuse. It discusses statistics on child abuse, types of abuse, risk factors, and gives guidance on evaluating injuries commonly seen in abuse such as burns, bruises, fractures, and head trauma. Physical findings that suggest abuse include bruises in unusual locations, patterned bruises, immersion burns, fractures of certain bones, and injuries of different ages. An accurate history is important, as explanations that are vague or inconsistent with the child's ability may indicate abuse.
The document discusses various genetic studies of schizophrenia, including family, twin, and adoption studies. Family studies found an increased risk of schizophrenia in relatives of schizophrenic probands, suggesting a genetic basis. Twin studies estimated the heritability of schizophrenia to be around 80%, while adoption studies found an increased risk of schizophrenia in children adopted away from schizophrenic biological mothers. Overall, these various study designs provide strong evidence for a genetic contribution to schizophrenia.
This document discusses dual diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and alcohol abuse or dependence. It provides diagnostic criteria and prevalence statistics for both conditions according to the DSM-IV. It also discusses biological, cognitive, developmental, and social factors that may contribute to the development of GAD and the expectancy effect and disease model as they relate to alcoholism. The document concludes with an overview of treatment approaches and medications for individuals with this dual diagnosis.
The document discusses 10 scenarios involving genetic engineering and ethics. For each scenario, it presents options for actions and asks the reader to choose one. The scenarios cover issues like prenatal genetic testing, genetically modifying foods, cloning pets, designing "perfect" children, inheriting genetic disorders, predictive genetic testing, cloning for organ transplants, mandatory genetic databases, gene therapies, and mandatory genetic testing for health insurance.
The document discusses ethical dilemmas in clinical genetics. It begins with an introduction to ethical dilemmas and frameworks for ethical decision making. It then addresses various issues in genetic engineering, genetic testing, and genetic counseling. Some key issues discussed include risks of experimental animals and creating new diseases, predictive testing and determining who should access results, prenatal testing and potential pressure not to have children with disabilities. The document stresses the importance of informed consent, counseling, and respecting individual values in navigating these complex ethical issues.
Genetic aspects of specific psychiatric disordersGaylordInena
This document discusses the genetic aspects of several psychiatric disorders including autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Family, twin, and genetic studies provide evidence of hereditary factors for each disorder. For autism, 15% of cases are associated with a known genetic mutation and genes on chromosomes 2 and 7 may contribute to risk. Concordance rates from twin studies support genetic influences for all three disorders. Specific genes have been identified that may increase vulnerability to each condition, and gene-environment interactions also appear to play a role in some cases. Overall, the document finds that while genes are involved in psychiatric conditions, they do not solely determine risk, as environmental factors are also important.

Children who experience trauma, which can include medical trauma, divorce, domestic violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, or witnessing these events, often develop anxiety, fears, grief responses, and some PTSD symptoms. The impact of trauma can include attachment issues, behavioral problems, and long-term mental health issues if left untreated. The severity and duration of trauma, as well as the support provided after, influence the level of consequences suffered by the child.
This document discusses several ethical issues related to genetics and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). It addresses questions around confidentiality and disclosure of genetic information, predictive genetic testing of children, criteria for offering prenatal genetic testing, revealing unexpected paternity results, implications for medical insurance, comparisons of PGD and prenatal diagnosis, and debates around the status of embryos and selecting for disability or non-medical traits. The document examines these issues in clinical genetics through common ethical themes of non-directiveness, informed consent, confidentiality, and avoiding psychological harm.
The document discusses the genetics behind autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It notes that while the genetics are complex, research suggests both genetic and environmental factors play a role. Studies of twins have found concordance rates between 56-95% in identical twins, suggesting a strong genetic component. Chromosomal abnormalities like deletions, duplications, and inversions have also been linked to ASD. The document examines different genetic studies of autism in twins, siblings, and families that provide evidence for a genetic basis of ASD. It concludes that autism likely has both genetic and environmental causes.
This document provides information on Fragile X syndrome including:
- It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and is an X-linked condition.
- The prevalence is 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 4000-6000 females who have the full mutation.
- Physical characteristics can include prominent ears, long narrow face, enlarged testes in males, and sensory or behavioral issues.

Alison Metcalfe presented her research on talking to children and young people about Familial Alzheimer's Disease and Familial Frontotemporal Dementia.
This document summarizes information about child abuse. It defines child abuse and categorizes it into 4 groups: neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse. It provides statistics on child abuse worldwide and in Hong Kong. It discusses contributing factors for child abuse including personal, child, environmental, and parental characteristics. It outlines consequences of child abuse that are physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal. It discusses preventive methods undertaken by governments, NGOs, and individuals. Finally, it presents perspectives on child abuse from God's word.
The document discusses biological explanations for schizophrenia, including genetic factors that may lead to neurotransmitter imbalances like excess dopamine causing the disorder, as well as evidence of brain structure differences like enlarged ventricles in schizophrenic patients from brain imaging studies, though the biological explanations have various criticisms and limitations.
The document provides an overview of Joe Neigel's presentation on creating thriving children through applying strategies informed by research on adverse childhood experiences and developmental needs. The presentation discusses findings from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study showing strong links between early life trauma and long-term health outcomes, and considers additional factors like brain nutrient deficiencies, lack of movement, and inadequate social reinforcement that contribute to difficulties. Neigel then examines low-cost strategies backed by evidence like using positive notes, praise, and mystery motivators that can positively influence school culture and protect children by meeting their developmental needs.
The document summarizes research on how drugs of abuse affect the developing adolescent brain. It finds that the prefrontal cortex, which governs judgment and decision making, matures last between ages 18-24. It also finds that adolescent brains are more susceptible than adult brains to the reinforcing and cognitive impairing effects of alcohol, and more sensitive to its social disinhibiting effects. The implications are that understanding adolescent brain development can enhance prevention programs by educating youth and their parents.

The document discusses oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), including its diagnosis, clinical features, course, prognosis, treatment, and relationship to other disruptive behavior disorders like conduct disorder. Some key points include:
- ODD is defined by a pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behaviors toward authority figures. It affects around 8-16% of children.
- It commonly co-occurs with disorders like ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Twin studies suggest it has a genetic component.
- Children with ODD may have elevated levels of adrenal androgens like DHEA and DHEAS compared to controls.
- If left untreated, a minority of cases (around 5%) may
This document summarizes key concepts about treating individuals who have experienced trauma. It discusses how trauma can affect people's emotions, behavior, and ability to self-regulate. Trauma treatment should aim to avoid re-traumatization and help traumatized individuals maintain calm states and build skills to prevent intense emotional responses. The document also explains how trauma physically impacts brain development and can cause changes in brain structures. Effective treatment needs to address both emotional dysregulation and environments that cannot contain strong emotions.
This document discusses substance use among teens and its negative impacts. It notes that as of 2009-2011, around 30-50% of teens reported using alcohol or drugs, with around 12% having a substance use disorder. Substance use is associated with risks like accidents, injuries, poor academic performance, and adult substance abuse. Treatment needs to be comprehensive and address psychological, family, social, and developmental factors through approaches like family therapy, CBT, biofeedback, and social support programs to help teens regain their futures.

Adolescence is a period where significant physical, emotional, mental changes take place. This presentation covers the nature of adolescence, physical changes, issues in adolescent health and adolescent cognition.
1) The document summarizes research on the SafeCare parent training program, which teaches parenting, child health, and home safety skills to reduce child abuse and neglect.
2) SafeCare has been shown through research to reduce future incidents of child maltreatment, increase positive parenting, improve child healthcare, and enhance home safety compared to standard services.
3) In Oklahoma from 2001-2011, SafeCare reduced recidivism of child maltreatment by about 26% compared to standard services according to a 7-year follow up study.
Mohamed Abdelbadie discusses the long-term mental health consequences of sexual abuse. Sexual abuse in children involves forcing or encouraging sexual acts, while in adults it means physical or coercive intrusion of a sexual nature. Studies show depression in 80% of abuse survivors and PTSD in 50%. Other common effects include anxiety, low self-esteem, health risks like substance abuse, and social difficulties. Neurobiological factors like disruptions in brain areas related to emotion and stress responses may underlie these mental health issues. The severity and chronicity of abuse, relationship to the perpetrator, family support, and coping strategies can impact the survivor's long-term adjustment and resilience.
This document discusses the need for more research on male offenders who seriously physically abuse or kill children. It notes that while both men and women commit such offenses, the majority are committed by men. More research has examined female rather than male offenders. The document calls for identifying the psychological profiles and risk factors of different types of male offenders, such as biological fathers who systematically cause harm versus unrelated adults in the home. Understanding these offender types could help professionals investigating such cases, which often involve uncooperative parents providing contradicting explanations for a child's injuries.
This document discusses the challenges of implementing trauma-informed care. It suggests that trauma-informed care could make a difference for those with mental health problems by addressing their adverse experiences. However, achieving trauma-informed care will require building an evidence base through translational research, engaging stakeholders, developing systems to support the approach, and addressing challenges around complexity, costs, and politics. Ongoing translational research integrated with service development may be needed to optimally address adversities, build strengths, and enhance capacity for those affected by trauma.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and disregard for others' rights. It is diagnosed using the DSM-IV criteria of conduct disorder as a child and behaviors such as aggression, stealing, lying, and impulsivity in adulthood without planning for the future. Biological factors like genetically low brain activity and structural differences in areas like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex are linked to ASPD based on brain imaging and other studies. Effective treatment for ASPD has not yet been found.
Strong communities that provide nurturing relationships and safe environments for children can help break intergenerational cycles of adversity and toxic stress. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are surprisingly common and have been shown to contribute to social, cognitive, and physical impairments that often last a lifetime if not addressed. Preventing ACEs through community-level efforts to support families and early intervention programs can help reduce long-term health costs and improve outcomes for children.
The document discusses Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development and how childhood trauma can impact development, learning, behavior, and relationships in educational settings. It describes the effects of trauma on brain development and functioning and outlines strategies for maintaining trauma-informed schools, including recognizing adaptive behaviors in traumatized students and avoiding coercion, restraint, and other retraumatizing practices.
Critical Review of Research Evidence Part 3 FDRobert Cope
This document discusses trauma experienced by children in foster care and the potential for EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy to help address it. Children in foster care often experience trauma from being removed from their biological homes as well as potential abuse or neglect. They also face issues from multiple placements and aging out of the system unprepared. EMDR is presented as a promising 8-step therapy that could help youth resolve memories from traumatic experiences. The document examines the scope of problems faced by the foster care population and why addressing trauma is important to help youth as they transition into adulthood.
This document provides an overview of child abuse and neglect. It defines different types of abuse, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional abuse/neglect. It discusses characteristics of abusers and abused children. The document presents statistics on the prevalence of different types of abuse from studies in the US and India. It also outlines signs, symptoms and evidence of different types of physical abuse like fractures, shaken baby syndrome, and battered baby syndrome. The conclusion discusses several studies that have examined injuries in abused children, with many finding injuries to the head and face.

The document directs the reader to USAID's website for more information on these topics.
This document discusses embedding care into health systems through the Strive to Thrive initiative. The initiative developed a rapid assessment tool to evaluate six areas (clinic services, health workers, supplies, health data, financing, and governance) as well as care, connection to the health system, and community involvement. Assessments have been conducted at over 20 sites. The dashboard measures care through questions about respecting patient rights, listening to concerns, and satisfaction with quality and privacy of services. Americares also embeds care by protecting health workers, providing mental health support, and addressing gender-based violence.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Devastating impact on the health
American Psychological Association, APA Online
“Children and adolescents who have been sexually abused
can suffer a range of psychological and behavioral
problems, from mild to severe, in both the short and long
term. These problems typically include depression, anxiety,
guilt, fear, sexual dysfunction, withdrawal, and acting out.
Depending on the severity of the incident, victims of sexual
abuse may also develop fear and anxiety regarding the
opposite sex or sexual issues and may display
inappropriate sexual behavior.”

Corpus callosum:
the integration of the brain hemispheres
• Teicher et al (1997): children
(especially boys) who had a
history of neglect or abuse had
a marked reduction in the size
of the corpus callousm when
compared with the control
group.
Teicher et al. (2000)
• Boys’ corpus callosum was
more vulnerable in cases of
neglect
• Girl’s corpus callosum was
more vulnerable in cases of
sexual abuse.
Teicher et al, 2004
• Participants with a history of abuse/
neglect had a 17% smaller corpus
callosum area when compared with the
control participants (p = .0001).

Bremner et al. (1997)
• participants who had a history of
child abuse and had PTSD had a
12% smaller left hippocampal
volume compared with the

Two Fundaments of a Public
Health Approach
• Creating a culture of human rights respect
toward children by deconstructing the
androcentric and adultocentric society.
• Equipping society in the areas of informed
response to sexual violence in the
health care, criminal justice, educational
and human services systems,
organizations, families and society.

• II. Secondary Prevention Early
detection and Intervention
• III. Tertiary prevention Creating Cultures of
Trauma-Informed response in Health Care, juridical
and educational systems as well as in society

to avert human suffering and to control the
tremendous personal, family, social & economic
costs of sexual aggressions
