DATASET RELATED TO ACEs IN SOME WAY?

Hi Ami,

I'd recommend looking at the following sources. They have their advantages and drawbacks, but all have publically available data (some you may have to request from PI, but they all should be free):

• Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) - retrospective ACE data from adults on 8/10 ACEs for most of the U.S. states
  • Data is publically available from: https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/annual_data/annual_data.htm
  • State added questions are often only available from the state and require a data use agreement. State POCs can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/state_info/coordinators.htm
• National Survey on Children's Health - parent-reported ACE data on children aged 0-17 years on many ACEs
  • The full 2016 and 2017 NSCH public-use files (PUF) are available on the Census Bureau's NSCH page. Additionally, national and state estimates for all Title V National Performance Measures (NPMs) and National Outcome Measures (NOMs) from the 2016 and combined 2016-17 NSCH are available on the interactive data query. Fully cleaned data sets and codebooks are available through the DRC Data Set Request Page.
• AddHealth - longitudinal study of adolescents beginning in 1995, included some ACE related data on childhood adversity in Wave IV
  • Public use data available from 4 sources: http://www.cpc.unc.edu/project...mentation/publicdata
  • Information about restricted use data can be found here: http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth/contracts

Hope this helps!

In addition to the excellent suggestions offered by Elizabeth, there are a number of states in which schools do ‘Student Wellness / Healthy Teen’ type surveys. Such is the case here in Oregon, maybe your state does too?

Districts receive detailed local data and aggregated state & county data are publicly available.  These surveys include a number of ACE / Trauma / Toxic Stress related questions.

Best of luck,

Bill
