abstract="We investigated if adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and ACE sub-types were associated with increased odds of planning to have children and adolescent  pregnancy. The Gulf Resilience on Women's Health (GROWH) is a diverse cohort of  reproductive-age women living in southeastern Louisiana during the 2010 Deepwater  Horizon oil spill. In our sample of 1482 women, we used multinomial logistic  regression to model odds ratios of wanting future children and assessed effect  measure modification by educational attainment. We also estimated odds ratios of  adolescent pregnancy with binomial logistic regression. Exposure to ACEs increased  odds of wanting future children across all ACE sub-types. Among women with lower  educational attainment, three or more ACEs (overall, childhood, and adolescence) had  over two times the odds of wanting future children. History of ACE and the various  sub-types, except for emotional abuse, were associated with increased risk of  adolescent pregnancy. ACEs may be linked to adolescent pregnancy and reproductive  plans, and variations by educational status highlighted social discrepancies and  importance of social context in evaluation and intervention.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
