We have data! In 2016, the Georgia Department of Public Health, with funding provided by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services' Prevention and Community Support Section, added the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) module to their annual Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS). The preliminary summary of the results of that data collection have been released in the Georgia Data Summary report. An additional full-length report is still in development, but the summary gives us some good information about ACEs in Georgia. The ACE module was not added to the 2017 BRFSS, but it is currently added to the 2018 survey. Data from the 2018 BRFSS should be available by late 2019. Thank you to Rana Bayakly and Victoria Davis at the Georgia Department of Public Health for their work on this summary report. The summary can be viewed below.
