Culturally Rooted Protective Factors and the Life Course: Understanding ACEs and PCEs in Latino Maternal and Child Health
Guest Speaker
Mary L. Mitsdarffer, PhD, MPH - Rowan University
Description
This training integrates cultural humility with a life course perspective on adverse and positive childhood experiences, ACEs and PCEs, highlighting how both shape maternal and child health. It examines the role of culturally rooted protective factors, such as familismo in Latino families, in buffering the effects of early adversity amid structural inequities. The session also addresses the coexistence of long life expectancy and prolonged disease burden in Latino populations, as well as immigration-related stressors as ACEs and social determinants influencing perinatal and early childhood outcomes.
