Abstract
Introduction
Toxic stress among children/youth is a significant public health concern that has been linked to serious morbidities and premature mortality in adulthood. Uniformity in measurement of a toxic stress variable for use in scholarly research can aid in a more comprehensive understanding of its indicators and implications.
Method
The purpose of this systematic review was to aggregate, organize, and summarize the literature around current practices for operationalizing toxic stress among children/youth. A strategic methodology was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, and two databases were consulted for relevant studies.
Results
Over 30 different measurement tools were identified across 13 included studies, ranging from biomarkers and physiological indicators to scales, diagnoses, and other assessment instruments.
Discussion
By synthesizing current measurement methods, this review informs research and clinical communities of different approaches to toxic stress measurement, advances standardization efforts, and justifies the necessity of a singular, scientifically validated tool.
