"Existing research on childhood adversity and health risk across the lifespan lacks specificity regarding which types of exposures to assess and when. The purpose of this study was to contribute to an empirically-supported framework to guide practitioners interested in identifying youth who may be at greatest risk for a lifelong trajectory of health disparities. We also sought to identify the point in childhood at which screening for adversity exposure would capture the largest group of at...

An exciting opportunity for the ACEs community to submit a manuscript on resilience for a special issue of the journal Behavioral Medicine.

Is this article available to be posted? I cannot access via the link thanks! Carmela

never mind. found it at the library! thanks for sharing! great forum! As a Principal Investigator on an NIHCD funded grant to develop a screening instrument for children at risk this is especially timely! working on first paper for our tool now- happy to share more if folks are interested. anyone working internationally on screening kids? I'd love to chat. contact me at cj@artemisassoc.com Carmela

Is there a link that goes directly to the Journal article ?

Hi Carmela, I fixed the link to the abstract. I am so glad that you were able to get a copy of the article and that you're reaching out to the community. (As is unfortunately the case for many studies, the full text articles are not freely available online.) I'd love to hear more about what sort of tool you're developing for at risk children. I'll reach out to you at the email address you provided.

From American College of Preventive Medicine, May 2020 Preventive Medicine Physicians are our nation's first line of defense against pandemic disease. They are responding to the current COVID-19 pandemic with dedication, expertise and unfailing commitment to public health. We are curating a collection of well-vetted resources on COVID-19 for physicians, families and anyone interested in learning more about the coronavirus.

As I've discovered since leaving my career as a family doctor, retraining as a somatic trauma therapist, and scouring the research for 20 years - adversity of all kinds, in all phases of our lives, and in past generations influences our health. As does discrimination. Like ACEs, these 7 additional categories of adversity shape health. They increase opportunities for prevention, identify early indicators of risk, and offer more tools for healing chronic illness and other effects of trauma.

The ACPM continues the high-minded academic tradition of castigating clinical research that does not meet precise research standards developed for biochemical pathophysiology and its treatment. In doing so it creates barriers to needed and overdue clinical intervention in a major behavioral pandemic with huge consequences for individual health and society. This policy statement impedes, impairs and delays attention to ACES, PACES, childhood abuse and neglect in the clinic as well as omits...

I'm pleased parenting education was mentioned.

A just-published article reports that the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) recommends against pediatric ACE screening but strongly supports continuing surveillance of ACEs along with protective factors in the population as a way to identify public health and other policies that can prevent adversity and toxic stress. Their report highlights Dr. Robert Anda’s (and colleagues) commentary that notes that ACE scores are neither a diagnostic tool nor predictive at the individual...

In reading the ACPM report, I feel like the headline here on the PACEs site is a bit misleading. Yes, they recommend against ACE screening, but they do seem to provide fuel for advancing PACEs awareness within the health care system. That said, I definitely share Jeoffry's frustration on how the medical establishment is way too focused on having studies that meet strict evidence-based guidelines. And in this report, the authors probably feel like they are being supportive of addressing...

You know on the surface I could agree with you, but if you go a bit deeper: It is a bit trying to solve a clinical problem ignoring the rules of trauma informed care. First you ask "What's wrong? What do you need? How can I help?" One does not engage by criticizing, pointing out faults, and generally concluding you fell short and your behavior and attitude could even be harmful or dangerous!

The National Collaborative on Trauma-Informed Health Care, Education and Research (TIHCER) presents: Trauma-Informed Competency Set for Undergraduate Medical Education Trauma is nearly universal and a root cause of numerous health and social problems, including 6 of the 10 leading causes of death. Research has substantiated the profound impact of trauma on the brain and body - and why trauma training is critical to the education and practice of health professionals. Yet a critical lag...
