Child Abuse Linked To Cancer In Adulthood
Download as docx, pdf0 likes154 views
A study from the University of Toronto found that childhood physical abuse is associated with a 49% increased risk of cancer later in life. Researchers analyzed data from over 13,000 Canadians and found that 7.4% reported physical abuse as children and were later diagnosed with cancer. Even after accounting for adult behaviors and socioeconomic factors, childhood abuse was still linked to a 47% higher chance of cancer. The researchers hypothesize that chronic stress from abuse may increase cortisol levels and suppress the immune system, but more research is still needed to fully understand the connection.

This document summarizes a study on the relationship between sexuality, obesity, and gender. Some key findings include:
- Obese women reported lower rates of sexual activity and were less likely to have an overweight or obese partner compared to obese men.
- Obese women were more likely to experience negative sexual outcomes like unintended pregnancy due to relying on less effective contraceptive methods and having lower rates of medical consultation for contraception.
- The results suggest social stigma affects women's sexuality more than men's due to stronger social pressures regarding weight for women.National rates of physical, psychological, and sexual teen dating violence

This document summarizes a presentation given at the 121st Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Honolulu, HI on July 31, 2013. The presentation discussed rates of physical, psychological, and sexual teen dating violence found in the national Growing up with Media survey. Key findings included that 41% of females and 37% of males reported experiencing dating violence victimization, with higher rates of physical perpetration reported among females and sexual perpetration among males. Differences in rates between demographic groups were generally small, and many adolescents reported both perpetrating and experiencing abuse. The presenters concluded that dating abuse is common among teens and that relationship dynamics likely play a role in reciprocal abuse.Psych 103

This document summarizes a study that explored whether early sexual intercourse could impact women's reproductive health in middle adulthood. The study followed 522 females from age 14 to 43, asking about the timing of their first sexual experience and later reproductive health. It found that women who had early intercourse were more likely to have lower education, leave home earlier, have more abortions and miscarriages, and report more menstrual symptoms than those who had later first intercourse. The results suggest early sexual activity can predict certain reproductive health issues later in life.Smoking hits you right in the job prospects

A study led by Judith Prochaska at Stanford University found that smokers face more difficulties in securing employment and earn less than non-smokers, with only 27% of smokers finding work after a year compared to 56% of non-smokers. This disparity may be linked to factors such as education and health, which the researchers adjusted for in their analysis. Future research will explore whether providing quitting support can enhance job prospects for unemployed smokers.Psych 103 CCBC

This document summarizes a study that explored whether early sexual intercourse could impact women's reproductive health in middle adulthood. The study followed 522 females from age 14 to 43, comparing those who had early intercourse to those who did not. It found that women with early intercourse tended to have less education and leave home earlier. They also reported more menstrual symptoms, unintended pregnancies, and abortions in adulthood compared to women with later onset of intercourse. The study suggests early intercourse may be a predictor of certain reproductive health issues for women later in life.Sexual Trauma and Substance Abuse

The literature review examines the strong relationship between sexual trauma and substance abuse, highlighting that victims, including men, women, and minorities, are at a higher risk for substance use disorders following sexual abuse. Various studies indicate that childhood sexual abuse (CSA) significantly elevates the severity of substance abuse and associated psychological issues. Despite some inconsistencies in research findings, the overall consensus is that early trauma and victimization patterns increase the likelihood of substance abuse across various demographics.Farley, Shannon.

This literature review examines research on the prevalence and effects of heroin use among women. The percentage of heroin users who are women has increased from 20% in the 1960s to over 50% today. Heroin use is associated with a variety of negative physical, emotional, and social consequences. Research suggests women may be more vulnerable to heroin addiction due to common experiences of trauma, mental health issues, and involvement in prostitution. More research is still needed to better understand the biological and psychological effects of heroin on women, as well as the relationships between heroin use, prostitution, and human trafficking. Treatment approaches need to consider gender differences and underlying issues like trauma that influence women's heroin use.APhA Poster (final)

1. Researchers found that judges were able to identify certain personality traits like extroversion and self-esteem based solely on controlled photos of people. However, they struggled to determine most other traits from these photos.
2. When the photos showed people smiling and standing naturally, judges were highly accurate in identifying nine out of ten personality traits. The study confirms the importance of first impressions based on appearance.
3. The researchers concluded that a person's appearance, especially whether they are smiling, communicates important information about their personality and traits to others.The homosexual community

The document summarizes research on discrimination, substance abuse, and mental health issues within the homosexual community. Several studies found high rates of discrimination and victimization reported by LGBT individuals. Contributing factors to substance abuse and mental health problems among homosexuals include biological predispositions, social and family influences, stress from discrimination, and lack of support systems. However, factors may differ between individuals. Ongoing research is still needed to better understand these issues and find ways to reduce health risks in the gay community through social support programs and acceptance.Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Ethical Violations

Two-thirds or 63% of American adults do not have an advanced directive, despite their importance being promoted for nearly 50 years. A recent study analyzed 150 other studies published between 2011-2016 on the proportion of Americans with advanced directives like health care powers of attorney or living wills. The study found that only 37% of the nearly 800,000 individuals studied had completed an advanced directive, with 29% having living wills specifically. While advance directives are an important tool for communicating end-of-life wishes, improvements are still needed to increase their use.MUPC POSTER WITH GRAPH 1

This study examined whether gender influences perceptions of fault in divorce. The researcher hypothesized that women would be regarded as more at fault for divorces than men. Participants were randomly assigned a scenario about a divorced man or woman and asked who was at fault. While results did not support the hypothesis, they did align with the stereotype that men are more likely to commit infidelity. The study design may have been flawed by using infidelity alone to define fault.Howard Hughes Research Day

Seeds were selected based on geography, education, hangouts, and willingness. They completed questionnaires, counseling, and testing for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The demographic equilibrium was reached at wave 17-19, showing the MSM were young, mobile, and less educated. Many engaged in risky homosexual behaviors with early sex, commercial sex, and drug use. Only 7% had previously tested for HIV. The study concluded that MSM can be effectively reached and recruited through long chain referrals, and this approach can access higher risk targets thanAlex natalie sexualities gender ageing

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) encompass various forms of abuse and household dysfunction occurring before age 18. The ACE Study, a large-scale investigation, links these childhood experiences to significant health risks in adulthood, highlighting their role in the prevalence of illnesses and social problems. Findings reveal that as the number of ACEs increases, so does the risk for numerous health issues, underscoring the importance of addressing childhood trauma in public health strategies.Special Populations Research Paper

This annotated bibliography provides summaries for two sources about childhood and adult obesity. The first source is a scholarly article that analyzes childhood obesity trends in the US and finds inconsistencies in predicting future rates due to diversity in demographics. It addresses causes and risk factors of childhood obesity but does not deeply examine perceptions of it. The second source is an article that finds women who experienced childhood maltreatment were more likely to perceive weight discrimination and have smaller increases in BMI. It demonstrates how childhood experiences can trigger adult obesity but does not analyze differences in perceiving childhood versus adult obesity. Both sources will aid the student's research on perceptions of childhood versus adult obesity, though the second source fails to critically compare the two perceptions.Influence of Risk Factors on HPV, Pap smear Abnormalities, Cervical Intraepit...

The document summarizes four studies that identify risk factors for HPV. All four studies found that younger age and a higher number of sexual partners are strongly correlated with HPV infection. Additional risk factors identified across the studies include ever having sex, alcohol consumption, low income, smoking, and oral contraceptive use. Understanding risk factors can help target prevention efforts and may provide insight into HPV persistence and cervical cancer development.Emails with dr carl bell

The document discusses the oversight of fetal alcohol exposure in research regarding youth with conduct disorder and psychopathology, highlighting that significant studies have failed to consider this variable even when it is likely relevant. Dr. Carl C. Bell emphasizes the connection between prenatal alcohol exposure and brain development issues in affected individuals, suggesting that public health inquiries have focused on the wrong questions. He advocates for a deeper understanding of the etiology of developmental disabilities associated with fetal alcohol exposure to improve prevention efforts and address health disparities in affected communities.Hardt Literature Review

This document reviews literature on the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It finds that ACEs are linked to negative health outcomes later in life through their effects on stress response systems and brain development. ACEs are common, affecting up to 67% of the population, and disproportionately impact low-income communities. The impacts of ACEs are cyclical as they increase risks for future generations. While ACEs have lasting biological and behavioral effects, perception of stress may influence outcomes. More research is needed to understand impacts, develop treatments, and engage communities to address this major public health issue.Serieswww.thelancet.com Vol 379 June 23, 2012 2373.docx

Self-harm and suicide are major public health problems among adolescents. Around 10% of adolescents report having self-harmed, with rates being higher in females. Important contributors include genetic, psychiatric, psychological, familial, social, and cultural factors. Prevention requires both universal measures for all youth and targeted initiatives for high-risk groups. There remains little evidence about effective treatments, and identifying successful prevention initiatives and treatments is a key need.Influence of Risk Factors on HPV, Pap smear Abnormalities, Cervical Intraepit...

Consumer services refer to the formulation, testing, consulting and analysis of many consumer products like food, cosmetics, cleaning products and more. Consumer services also include goods, services and obligations primarily for personal use. There are different types of consumer services such as beauty, transportation, communication and appliance installation. A key difference between products and services is that products can be touched while services involve actions performed by others. Services are also intangible and cannot be stored, transported or owned. To be a wise consumer, research options thoroughly, find discounts, compare multiple providers, review receipts carefully and refuse unnecessary personal information requests.Consumer services

Child Abuse Linked To Cancer In Adulthood
- 1. Child Abuse Linked To Cancer In Adulthood<br />By eNotAlone.comPublished: June 27, 2009<br />Physical abuse during childhood is associated with a high chance of developing cancer later in life, according to the experts at the University of Toronto, Canada.<br />In their study. Canadian researchers came to the conclusion that childhood physical abuse is associated with a 49 per cent increased risk of cancer in adulthood. Even after taking into consideration major health risk factors, such as childhood stressors, adult socioeconomic status and adult behaviors including smoking, drinking and lack of physical activity, the relationship between childhood physical abuse and cancer remained significant, the authors wrote.<br />The findings were based on data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, focusing on the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Of the 13,092 respondents who took part in the study, 7.4 per cent reported that they had been physically abused as a child by someone close to them, and 5.7 per cent said that they had been later diagnosed with cancer by a health professional. Childhood physical abuse was linked to 49 per cent higher chances of the disease. The odds ratio reduced only slightly to 47 per cent higher odds when the numbers were adjusted to account for unhealthy adult behaviors, socioeconomic status, and other stressors during childhood, such as divorce.<br />The lead author of the study, researcher Esme Fuller-Thomson of University of Toronto's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and Department of Family and Community Medicine, said that she was rather shocked by her own findings. \" I was totally surprised that that relationship was so strong,\" she said in an interview. \" So there is something going on, but right now it is a black box. It is a question mark right now.\" <br />Fuller-Thomson says there are many possible reasons why physical abuse might be a factor of cancer risk, though all these reasons at this point are just theories. One theory is that chronic stress that an abused child is constantly under, brings up levels of the \" fight or flight\" hormone, cortisol. Increased levels of the hormone might interfere with the immune system's ability to detect and get rid of cancer cells. \" With every stressor, you respond with a huge amount of this hormone which sends your heart beat up and can cause suppression of your immune system,\" Fuller-Thomson explained. \" And so that is one potential hypothesis.\" <br />Sarah Brennenstuhl, a doctoral student at the U of T and a co-author of the study, said that social scientists are less likely to study and analyze what goes under the skin, while medical scientists have started to investigate issues like poverty and education as explanations behind ailments. The interaction between who you are, your position in society and what is going on physiologically, \" I think we need to look at those more closely,\" Brennenstuhl said.<br />However, the researchers emphasized that individuals who were the victims of physical abuse in childhood should not think now that they are going to necessarily develop cancer. Fuller-Thomson stressed out that the findings need to be supported by other larger studies before the scientists could say for sure that child abuse is a risk factor for cancer. She said that more research is needed in order to explain the higher cancer rates that were found in this study, and to better understand what mechanisms might stand behind.<br />The study was published in July 15 issue of the journal油Cancer.<br />
