Abstract
Abstract Evidence shows that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a root cause of risk behaviors. Safe, stable, and nurturing relationships (SSNRs) can potentially moderate the health risks associated with ACEs. This study examines the relationships among SSNRs in childhood, ACEs, and two risk behaviors in adulthood (smoking tobacco and binge drinking). Data were obtained from the 2016 South Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey. The results show a significant decrease in odds of risk behaviors among individuals with ACEs when a SSNRs is present in childhood. This study suggests that programs and policies that promote resilience may reduce risk behaviors.
