# Cross-Cohort Collaboration in Studies Linking Child Maltreatment and Adult Health

> **NIH NIH R13** · YALE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $50,000

## Abstract

Project Summary
Child maltreatment is highly prevalent and strongly associated with a range of adverse health
outcomes in adults. Multiple human and non-human primate cohorts have collected prospective
measures of exposure to child maltreatment and followed participants into adulthood collecting
measures of physical and cognitive health. This conference would bring together the leaders of
the major longitudinal human and non-human cohorts and experts in measurement and
harmonization for a meeting on cross cohort harmonization focused on the relationship of early
childhood maltreatment and adult physical and cognitive health. The aims and products of the
conference would be: 1) Clear definition and conceptualization of childhood maltreatment that
can be studied across cohorts and approaches for uniform recoding of already-collected data
and harmonization of measures; 2) Identification of health outcomes and measures that can be
used across cohorts as well as a plan for harmonizing measures already used; 3) Articulation of
principles for cross species analyses; and 4) Dissemination of resources to provide guidance to
investigators in cross cohort analysis of longitudinal data. These aims will advance the field of
cross-cohort collaboration to allow attendees to answer key questions in the field about the
causal link between early childhood exposure of child maltreatment and later physical and
cognitive health outcomes. This work will directly impact the development of intervention efforts
to ameliorate the impact of early life exposure to child maltreatment and poor health outcomes
across the lifespan.
