Poster 3. An ACE score of 4+ suggests susceptibility to mental health issues in adulthood. ADHD, often diagnosed in childhood, saw a nearly 460% increase among girls from 1991 to 2008 (Fairman, Peckham, & Sclar, 2017). Research by Hinshaw et al. (2012) revealed worse outcomes for girls with ADHD in adulthood. Given ACE scores' predictive nature, could a high count correlate with adult ADHD onset? This study aims to explore this link via questionnaire and survey analysis.
