Student Rebecca Trossman has published the first of her Master's studies demonstrating that real-world challenges in the application of executive skills mediate an association between exposure to childhood adversities and the emergence of mental health concerns in young adults. Her work is an important step in elucidating underlying mechanisms that may explain why childhood adversity exposure (ACEs) exerts a deleterious impact on multiple facets of health in later life.
