The ACE International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) is intended to measure ACEs in all countries, and the association between them and risk behaviours in later life. ACE-IQ is designed for administration to people aged 18 years and older. Questions cover family dysfunction; physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect by parents or caregivers; peer violence; witnessing community violence, and exposure to collective violence.
ACE-IQ is being developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with countries from around the world. The current version of ACE-IQ is being validated through trial implementation as part of population-based surveys that include the ACE-IQ items alongisde questions that examine broader health, mental health and health risk behaviours.
