The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a data collection project on childhood experiences and health equity among young adults in the U.S. The project aims to study how adverse and positive childhood experiences impact health outcomes, especially for young adults from marginalized communities. The study will involve surveying 6,000 young adults aged 18 to 24 and will collect data on their past experiences and health status. The study intends to improve the understanding of the connection between childhood experiences and health and will look at broader social and community factors that affect these outcomes.
