The purpose of this study is to examine whether adverse emotional childhood experiences, such as serious conflicts in the family and frequent fear of a family member, predict the use of psychotropic drugs in adulthood. In addition, the association of a child\u2013parent relationship during childhood with the use of psychotropic drugs is studied.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The participants of the population-based Health and Social Support Study (24\u2005284 working aged Finns) were followed up for 9\u2005years. The information on childhood experiences and child\u2013parent relationships was obtained from the questionnaires in 1998 and 2003. The number of psychotropic purchases (antipsychotics, drugs for bipolar disorder, antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives) was obtained from the National-Drug-Prescription-Register. Logistic and multinomial regression models were used.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A graded association between childhood adversities and the use of psychotropic drugs was found, even after adjustments for occupational training, work status, recent life events and health behaviour. Frequent fear of a family member showed the strongest association: the OR for multiple use of antidepressants was 3.08 (95% CI 2.72 to 3.49) and 2.69 (2.27 to 3.20) for multiple use of anxiolytics. Use of psychotropic drugs was clearly increased among those with poor child\u2013parent relationship and multiple childhood adversities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results highlight the effect of environmental factors during childhood on mental health and the need for early recognition of families at risk.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jech-2014-204732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,23]],"date-time":"2014-12-23T22:00:11Z","timestamp":1419372011000},"page":"354-360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Childhood adversities predict strongly the use of psychotropic drugs in adulthood: a population-based cohort study of 24\u2005284 Finns"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Karoliina","family":"Koskenvuo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Social Insurance Institution of Finland, Helsinki, Finland"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Hjelt Institute, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markku","family":"Koskenvuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Hjelt Institute, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025100521010974000_69.4.354.1","unstructured":"Mental Health and Development.
