| contents | Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to a wide range of negative health outcomes in adulthood. However, few studies have investigated what specific combinations of ACEs most substantially impact mental health. In this article, we provide the protocol for our observational study of the effects of combinations of ACEs on adult depression. We use data from the 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to assess these effects. We will evaluate the replicability of our findings by splitting the sample into two discrete subpopulations of individuals. We employ data turnover for this analysis, enabling a single team of statisticians and domain experts to collaboratively evaluate the strength of evidence, and also integrating both qualitative and quantitative insights from exploratory data analysis. We outline our analysis plan using this method and conclude with a brief discussion of several specifics for our study. |
