Blunted stress reactivity reveals vulnerability to early life adversity in young adults with a family history of alcoholism

ConclusionsPeople with a family history of alcoholism appear to be vulnerable, in terms of changes to physiological stress response, to the impact of exposure to early life adversity (ELA) while people with no family history of alcoholism appear to be resilient. Blunted stress reactivity may reflect differential vulnerability to ELA in young adults with a family history of alcoholism.
