Trajectories of childhood adversity, social welfare dependence in young adulthood, and the mediating role of mental health problems: a Danish population‐based cohort study
Mental health problems partly mediate the relation between childhood adversity and long-term social welfare dependence in young adulthood through both elevated exposure and increased susceptibility. Addressing mental health problems and increasing resilience among individuals with a history of childhood adversity may mitigate the risk of subsequent social welfare dependence.
