The project examines how different levels of early life adversity (ELA) may predict internalizing and externalizing psychopathology symptoms in early-school-aged children. A secondary analysis was performed using the Area Deprivation Index and the Crime Risk dataset, while controlling for internalizing and externalizing symptoms (CBCL). Findings provide preliminary support for dimensional models of ELA, suggesting that neighborhood deprivation may be more strongly linked to internalizing risk, whereas exposure to threat-related contexts (crime) may confer risk for externalizing symptoms.
