Abstract: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) include various childhood stressors that can negatively impact the health and well-being of children. ACEs are associated with poor academic achievement. Attention is strongly associated with academic achievement, and there is a graded relationship between ACEs exposure and subsequent development of parent-reported ADHD; however, it is unclear whether ADHD symptoms mediate the relationship between ACEs and academic achievement. This study tested a model of mediation by ADHD symptoms between ACEs and academic achievement (measured by reading score). This retrospective cohort analysis utilized data from the Longitudinal Study on Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN), a data consortium exploring the impact of child maltreatment (n = 494). There were relatively even numbers of male and female child participants, and the majority of caregivers were either non-Hispanic White or Black. Path analyses were modeled for ACEs as a sum score and separately for individual ACE exposures, with number of symptoms of Inattention (IN) and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (H/I) as mediators, and academic achievement as the outcome, adjusting for covariates. ACEs were highly prevalent in this sample (M = 5.10, SD = 1.90). After retaining significant covariates, significant direct associations (P <.05) were seen between ACE sum score and IN (β =.14) and H/I (β =.21), and between H/I and reading score (β=-.14). A higher ACE score was associated with lower reading scores through variation in H/I, but not IN. H/I mediated the relationship between ACEs and reading score in this high-risk population, providing new insight into relationships between ACEs and academic achievement, which can inform interventions.
