Association between Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) and long-term COVID-19 symptoms: evidence from the 2022 behavioral risk factor surveillance system

More adverse events resulted in more risk to experience long term COVID-19 symptoms. Additional research is needed to better understand and intervene in the biological vulnerabilities associated with childhood adversities.
