The study assesses the longitudinal impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) on problematic alcohol and drug use and the potential moderating effect of perceived social support. Results indicated youth with ACE report more problematic alcohol and drug use in adolescence and have increased rates into young adulthood. Findings also suggest that social support in high school may moderate the effects of ACE on problematic use over time.
