By Scott McIntosh, Idaho Statesman, December 26, 2019 For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put together an analysis of adverse childhood experiences, or ACES, and the potential positive impacts of preventing such experiences. In a study released last month, the CDC concludes that reducing the number of adverse childhood experiences that a child encounters could reduce cases of depression by 44%, or by 21 million cases, reduce heart disease by 1.9 million...

California has approved ACEs screenings for pediatricians and will even reimburse them for patients on Medicaid and Medi-Cal! Is there anyone working on something similar in Idaho? If so, I'd love to help in any way I can. More information here: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/state-incentivizing-doctors-to-perform-adverse-childhood-experience-screenings/2241308/

The idea is that if they can identify parents with high ACE scores, they can put them in touch with more resources and perhaps prevent intergenerational ACE transmittal.

By Ryan White, Center for Health Journalism, July 23, 2020 Harvard’s Jack Shonkoff, a luminary in the field of early childhood, has spent years showing that events in the earliest years of life have profound implications for how budding brains develop, and in turn, shape a child’s later potential at school and work. Now, Shonkoff says it’s time to connect the brain to the rest of the body. “The message now is to say that there is a revolution going on in molecular biology and genomics and in...

When members of Maryland’s State Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (SCCAN) began in 2006 to examine what their state was doing in the realm of prevention, they discovered a gaping hole. Many participants in the 23-member Council—people working in child welfare, mental health, law enforcement and advocacy groups—knew about ACEs and about the corrosive effects of early childhood maltreatment. But they discovered, through informational interviews across different sectors and an environmental...
