A few years ago, Dr. Robert Anda at CDC, and co-Principal Investigator of the ACE Study, got the ACE Questionnaire added to the BRFSS or Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a state-by-state annual collection of standardized public health information. Twenty states are now participating in collecting ACE Study information annually. A wonderful 40-page booklet has been created by the Minnesota Department of Health providing The ACE findings from 15,000 Minnesota adults in 2011. Titled "Adverse Childhood Experiences in Minnesota", you can get a copy by calling 651-201-5000.
Dr. Anda also arranged for the World Health Organization to routinely collect such ACE information from European nations. At present, fourteen countries are cooperating.
Chris, I don't know how you find all the stuff you do, but it is both impressive and helpful. Thank you!
