Summary/Abstract: Prevalence of exposure to traumatic events in adults living in the United States is very high at 89% with the majority reporting multiple events of traumatic exposures [1]. The research regarding the long-term effects of exposure to childhood and adulthood traumatic experiences is still nascent and has not been studied as a life-course exposure. We, a multidisciplinary research team at BU, proposed a longitudinal study to assess injury/disease progression from trauma to cardiovascular outcomes by recruiting a contemporary national E-cohort of US adults (>18 years old) and collecting self-reported, longitudinal data over 10 years using a unique in-house multiplatform software application.
