OBJECTIVE: Research has demonstrated that exposure to violence and adversity has negative effects on both mental health and biobehavioral outcomes, such as @entity25 . Research examining the relationship between past and recent violence exposure and mental health suggests that the effects of childhood adversity are especially pernicious, but to date, no studies have attempted to disentangle the direct, indirect and relative effects of past year versus childhood exposure to violence and adversity on sleep. The objective of the current study was to examine the direct effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and past year intimate partner violence (IPV) on different aspects of @entity25 in pregnant @entity1 . METHOD: A sample of high-risk pregnant @entity1 (n = 101) were interviewed. Mediation analysis with bias-corrected, bootstrapped confidence intervals was used to evaluate direct and indirect effects. RESULTS: Findings indicated that while ACEs had significant direct effects on mental health, past year IPV had stronger effects on @entity25 , latency, and efficiency. ACEs did, however, indirectly affect subjective @entity25 via past year @entity458 . CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that @entity25 may be a regulatory stress response that is most clearly linked to past year violence and @entity130 . That is, though long-term @entity25 may be evident following childhood adversity, it is likely that this relationship is better explained by the role of childhood adversity in predicting adulthood revictimization or due to long-term mental health difficulties associated with early @entity130 .
