In January, California took a historic leap forward to promote universal ACEs screening of the state’s 13 million adults and children in the Medi-Cal program. The eventual goal is to promote ACEs screening for all patients, but this is a first step in dealing with a major issue that ACEs science has identified: that many children will develop serious health problems later in life because the healthcare system is not currently set up to detect the roots of those problems.

Thank you for writing this article, and sharing the results of the survey. I was disappointed however to not see any mention of the potential perpetuation of structural and systemic racism as a result of conducting screenings.

And, what about the requirement that providers include the label "toxic physiology" in patient files if their...

Sarah thanks for reading the report and sharing your insights! These are exactly the kinds of conversations we hoped to spark with this effort. One of the disadvantages of using a convenience sample, and a short survey window, is that we may not have tapped into a full range of views. Knowing that the Office of the Surgeon General would soon launch ACEs Aware and that the clinical reimbursement program for ACEs screening would begin, together with the backbone of 4CA, we thought it was...

California will receive $26 billion through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the federal legislation recently signed into law by President Joseph Biden to help state and local economies recover from the pandemic. Media outlets have reported that the money will help fund everything from a stronger COVID-19 response to small businesses, housing, anti-poverty programs, and education, but little has been written about the other ways the act will benefit children. The law’s impact on...
