  2. The effect of multiple adverse childhood experiences on health: a systematic review and meta-analysis

    Karen Hughes, Mark A Bellis, Katherine A. Hardcastle, et al. · 2017 · The Lancet Public Health · 5,255 citations

    BACKGROUND: A growing body of research identifies the harmful effects that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; occurring during childhood or adolescence; eg, child maltreatment or exposure to domestic violence) have on health throughout life. Studies have quantified such effects for individual ACEs. However, ACEs frequently co-occur and no synthesis of findings from studies measuring the effect of multiple ACE types has been done. METHODS: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched five electronic databases for cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies published up to May 6, 2016, reporting risks of health outcomes, consisting of substance use, sexual health, mental hea

  5. Adverse Childhood Experiences and Smoking During Adolescence and Adulthood

    Robert F. Anda · 1999 · JAMA · 1,276 citations

    CONTEXT: In recent years, smoking among adolescents has increased and the decline of adult smoking has slowed to nearly a halt; new insights into tobacco dependency are needed to correct this situation. Long-term use of nicotine has been linked with self-medicating efforts to cope with negative emotional, neurobiological, and social effects of adverse childhood experiences. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and 5 smoking behaviors. DESIGN: The ACE Study, a retrospective cohort survey including smoking and exposure to 8 categories of adverse childhood experiences (emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; a battered mother; parental separation or divorce

  6. Long‐term consequences of stunting in early life

    Kathryn G. Dewey, Khadija Begum · 2011 · Maternal and Child Nutrition · 1,158 citations

    This review summarizes the impact of stunting, highlights recent research findings, discusses policy and programme implications and identifies research priorities. There is growing evidence of the connections between slow growth in height early in life and impaired health and educational and economic performance later in life. Recent research findings, including follow-up of an intervention trial in Guatemala, indicate that stunting can have long-term effects on cognitive development, school achievement, economic productivity in adulthood and maternal reproductive outcomes. This evidence has contributed to the growing scientific consensus that tackling childhood stunting is a high priority f

  7. Long-term Effects of an Early Childhood Intervention on Educational Achievement and Juvenile Arrest

    Arthur J. Reynolds, Judy A. Temple, Dylan L. Robertson, et al. · 2001 · JAMA · 852 citations

    CONTEXT: Most studies of the long-term effects of early childhood educational interventions are of demonstration programs rather than large-scale public programs. Previous studies of one of the oldest federally funded preschool programs have reported positive effects on school performance, but effects on educational attainment and crime are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effectiveness of a federal center-based preschool and school-based intervention program for urban low-income children. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen-year follow-up of a nonrandomized, matched-group cohort of 1539 low-income, mostly black children born in 1980 and enrolled in alternative early chi

  8. Long-term outcomes of childhood sexual abuse: an umbrella review

    Helen P. Hailes, Rongqin Yu, Andrea Danese, et al. · 2019 · The Lancet Psychiatry · 822 citations

    BACKGROUND: Although many meta-analyses have examined the association between childhood sexual abuse and subsequent outcomes, the scope, validity, and quality of this evidence has not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed to systematically review existing meta-analyses on a wide range of long-term psychiatric, psychosocial, and physical health outcomes of childhood sexual abuse, and evaluate the quality of the literature. METHODS: In this umbrella review, we searched four databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Global Health) from inception to Dec 31, 2018, to identify meta-analyses of observational studies that examined the association be

  9. Long-Term Effects of Early Childhood Programs on Social Outcomes and Delinquency

    Hirokazu Yoshikawa · 1995 · The Future of Children · 459 citations

    The search for ways to prevent juvenile crime in the United States has become a matter of national urgency, as the incidence of serious offenses continues to rise. Most prevention initiatives focus on late childhood or adolescence. Such initiatives may be missing an important additional opportunity to intervene earlier in children's lives. This review of literature from criminology, psychology, and education shows that there exist key early childhood factors which are associated with later antisocial or delinquent behavior and that early childhood programs which seek to ameliorate the effects of those factors can prevent later antisocial or delinquent behavior. In particular, the review focu

  10. Early Childhood Education: The Long-Term Benefits

    Linda Bakken, Nola Brown, Barry Downing · 2017 · Journal of Research in Childhood Education · 300 citations

    This study was designed to substantiate the positive, long-term outcomes demonstrated by children from economically disadvantaged homes who received a high-quality, early education. Children who attended The Opportunity Project (TOP) Early Learning Centers in a midwestern city in the United States were matched with a like control sample from a local school system and followed from kindergarten through 4th grade. In 3rd and 4th grades, standardized state assessment outcomes for math and reading were collected on the two groups; data also were collected on discipline referrals, attendance rates, and special education placements for all grades. In the 4th grade, the TOP group scored significant

  11. Impacts of Early Childhood Education on Medium- and Long-Term Educational Outcomes

    Dana Charles McCoy, Hirokazu Yoshikawa, Kathleen M. Ziol‐Guest, et al. · 2017 · Educational Researcher · 284 citations

    Despite calls to expand early childhood education (ECE) in the United States, questions remain regarding its medium- and long-term impacts on educational outcomes. We use meta-analysis of 22 high-quality experimental and quasi-experimental studies conducted between 1960 and 2016 to find that on average, participation in ECE leads to statistically significant reductions in special education placement (d = 0.33 SD, 8.1 percentage points) and grade retention (d = 0.26 SD, 8.3 percentage points) and increases in high school graduation rates (d = 0.24 SD, 11.4 percentage points). These results support ECE’s utility for reducing education-related expenditures and promoting child well-being.

  13. Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) and its long-term effects on educational and labour market outcomes

    Janna van Belle · 2016 · RAND Corporation eBooks · 33 citations

    Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) provision is associated with positive social and economic outcomes, both in the short and long term. These outcomes depend on policy decisions with regards to the number of hours that are offered, the age at which the entitlement starts, the type of ECEC care, and the costs for parents from various backgrounds. We discuss existing differences between EU countries in ECEC implementation and outcomes.

  15. Medium- and long-term outcomes of early childhood education: experiences from Turkish large-scale assessments

    H. Eren Suna, Mahmut Ozer · 2024 · Humanities and Social Sciences Communications · 8 citations

    Abstract The benefits of early childhood education (ECE) to children extend throughout their lives. A more equitable education system is also dependent upon the universalization of ECE, beyond its personal benefits. A limited number of studies have examined the relationship between ECE attendance and educational outcomes in Türkiye, despite its importance at both the educational and systemic levels. As part of this comparative study, we examined the relationship between ECE attendance and academic achievement in Türkiye over the medium and long term. We considered high stakes assessments for the transition to upper-secondary education (at the end of the eighth grade) and hi

  16. The Impact of Early Childhood Education on Long-Term Outcomes

    Deetje Josephine Solang, Muhammad Yunus, Bahrul Sri Rukmini, et al. · 2024 · The Journal of Academic Science · 7 citations

    Early childhood education (ECE) plays a crucial role in shaping the long-term cognitive, social, and emotional development of individuals. This article explores the impact of early childhood education on long-term outcomes, drawing on a comprehensive review of existing research. The findings indicate that high-quality ECE programs contribute significantly to improved academic achievement, higher educational attainment, and better economic prospects later in life. Moreover, children who participate in ECE are more likely to develop strong social skills, better emotional regulation, and lower rates of behavioral problems. The benefits of ECE are particularly pronounced for children from disadv

  17. The Long-Term Effects of Intrauterine Drug Exposure

    Mark D. Shriver, Wayne Piersel · 1994 · Topics in Early Childhood Special Education · 5 citations

    This article reviews current research on the long-term outcomes of children exposed to drugs in utero. Areas reviewed include alcohol, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and multiple drug use. Literature on the outcomes of children diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) was found to be the most extensive. There was a paucity of research on the long-term outcomes of children exposed to cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and multiple drugs. Methodological issues related to the analysis and interpretation of longitudinal studies are discussed. Differential intervention efforts based primarily on knowledge of a child's intrauterine exposure to drugs was unsupported by available evidence. It is recommende

  23. Early Childhood Education and Long-Term Academic and Socioeconomic Outcomes

    Georgekutty M D · 2026 · International Journal of Education and Pedagogy (IJEP)

    Early childhood education (ECE) has long been recognized as a foundational investment in human capital, with substantial evidence suggesting that high-quality programs during the first eight years of life generate long-lasting benefits across cognitive, social-emotional, and economic dimensions. This study employs a secondary data analysis methodology to systematically examine the relationship between participation in early childhood education programs and long-term academic achievement, educational attainment, and socioeconomic outcomes. Drawing on longitudinal datasets and reports from authoritative sources including the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), the OECD, th
