Subclaims¶

q2 i? White children experienced significantly greater decrements in flourishing compared to Black and Hispanic children as ACEs increased, including a steeper decline in interest and curiosity in learning. → Goldstein 2021 q2 i? Black and Hispanic children experienced a steeper decline in family resilience compared to White children as ACEs increased. → Goldstein 2021 (2)

Goldstein 2021¶

Goldstein, E., Topitzes, J., Miller-Cribbs, J. & Brown, R. L. (2021). Influence of race/ethnicity and income on the link between adverse childhood experiences and child flourishing. Pediatric Research. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41390-020-01188-6

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Moderation effect parameter estimate differences from Table 3b of the probit model; the contrast names White versus Black and Hispanic children. No standardized effect size is printed, so impact is null.

"However, White children experienced significantly greater decrements in flourishing compared to Black and Hispanic children as ACEs increased. For example, specific flourishing outcomes showed that White children experienced a steeper decline in interest and curiosity in learning compared to Black and Hispanic children."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Race/ethnicity moderation results for the ACE-to-family-resilience pathway in the same NSCH moderated-mediation model; reported as significant parameter differences without an effect size.

"As ACEs increased, Black and Hispanic children experienced a steeper decline in family resilience compared to White children."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• As cumulative ACEs increase, children's probability of flourishing (learning interest, task completion, self-regulation) and family resilience decrease across race/ethnicity and income groups
• The moderated-mediation effect of family resilience on the ACEs-curiosity-in-learning relationship is significantly greater for Black than for White children
• Family resilience partially mediates the association between ACEs and child flourishing, with mediation proportions varying by race/ethnicity and income
• ACE exposure is unevenly distributed: children below 400% FPL and Black and Hispanic children have higher prevalence of two or more ACEs
