Adverse Childhood Experiences Part II: ACE Screening in Pediatrics
Activity description
Substantial exposure to traumatic events impacts an estimated 50% to 75% of the population today. Trauma is linked to adversity, posttraumatic stress disorder, mental illness, interpersonal problems, substance abuse and chronic disease, which in turn drive up health care costs. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study shows a connection between an individual’s physiologic stress response and subsequent neurologic alterations, as well as changes in metabolic and immune function and increased risk of complex medical conditions.
Recent, national, population-based data show that one-half of children in the U.S. have ACE exposure, and yet a national survey noted that the majority of health care professionals (HCPs) are not knowledgeable about ACEs and lack understanding of how to assess and respond to information about ACEs reported by children or family members.
This activity, part II in a series, will discuss the importance of and rationale behind ACE screening along with the available tools and resources to enable HCPs to utilize appropriate referral, treatment and intervention services for individuals.

She completed her pre- and post-doctoral fellowship at the Child Trauma Research Program (CTRP) at the University of California, San Francisco under the mentorship of Drs. Alicia F.
