Adverse childhood experiences, psychosocial well-being and cognitive development among orphans and abandoned children in five low income countries
Conclusions:
These findings suggest that interventions targeting psychosocial support for vulnerable children, especially vis a vis traumatic experiences, may ease strains inhibiting a child's learning. Family based interventions to stabilize socioeconomic conditions may help overcome psychosocial challenges that otherwise would present as barriers to the child's learning.
