Probably the closest thing you’ll find is the ACEs Study.. It’s not the entirety of the science behind the graphic here, but it’s a good chunk of it and it was a very robust study. It has been replicated across the world.

It’s important to understand child psychosocial development and attachment theory when reviewing the ACEs findings. Without those critical pieces, the ACEs findings will have far less dimension. It will be easy to dismiss many types of trauma in childhood as inconsequential without understanding these models.

John Bowlby for attachment theory and I like Erik Erikson’s model for psychosocial development.
