Becoming Trauma Informed (Millstein JGIM 2020)
When I look at Victoria through a clearer lens, there are many clues—her anxiety, troubled marriage and family life, avoidance of physically intrusive examina- tions. I realize that I hardly know her at all. I focus on her health issues, and despite many stumbles, we have a nice rapport. I accept whatever she is willing to share about her tumultuous home life, but I do not ask how it all came to be so. Now I float with her in a reservoir of pain and shame.

Medical Education Curriculum Expansion (TIC and ACEs)
This is Beth Pletcher, from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. I wanted to share an experience that happened today - what I might call a curricular “win”. After introducing our TIC-ACEs module with small group, discussion-based sessions to all of our first year medical students three years ago as part of the Health Equities and Social Justice course ( https://www/medportal.org/publiction/10803/ ), we were unsure of how to continue to reinforce and build upon the TIC-ACEs knowledge across the...

Re: Center for Healthcare Strategies: Great Practice-based Resource
Thank you for sharing your experience in using the ACE findings clinically. Attached is an article describing our doing this in a 135,000 adult patient sample where the ACE Questions were integrated into a lengthy medical history questionnaire filled out at home as Step 1 of comprehensive medical evaluation. The benefits were major. Unexpectedly, colleague (but not patient) resistance was also significant. Our getting this information initially by an inert mechanism rather than face-to-face...

Re: Excellent Harvard Health Blog Post
Sometimes people wonder whether it is better to seek traumas by specific questions while others feel they should search for plausible trauma outcomes and then work backwards. As a result of our ACE Study findings, we decided to integrate specific ACE questions into our very lengthy general medical history questionnaire that was Step 1 of a system of unusually comprehensive adult medical evaluation that we had at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. This was used with 440,000 middle-class adults...

Re: TIHCER June Zoom 2020
This is a very interesting presentation, and I look forward to reading Dr. Strait's article in The Permanente Journal. The subject has great relevance for the military because there is highly suggestive evidence that ACE Scores and their generally not-understood sequelae may be more common in a volunteer military that in a draft military. Attached as Item 3 is an article describing how routine ACE screening was carried out on a very large scale in one Kaiser Department, and its effects and...

Re: TIHCER June Zoom 2020
Thank you Dr. Felitti for your kind words and helpful attachments. Your paper is so important, especially in light of the military families I work with. Your words are inspiring and transformative: "We realized that asking , initially via an inert mechanism with later followup in the exam room, coupled with listening and implicitly accepting the person who had just shared his or her dark secrets, is a powerful form of doing ."
