Abstract
Background
Research has focused on screening for adverse childhood experiences, rather than provision of education as a part of routine anticipatory guidance.

Objectives
This study aims to examine parent/guardian and provider acceptability/feasibility of the adverse childhood experiences conversation during well-child visits in primary care.
