Lay summary
Adverse events before the age of eighteen are common and include diverse experiences ranging from sexual abuse to parental divorce. These stressful events have been linked to physical and mental health issues. Previous research has focused mainly on childhood adversity and adverse experiences in the family environment, and little consideration has been given to what types of adversity may be particularly harmful in adolescence.
