Hi All,
I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. Are there questions to be asked of parents that would determine the ACE score of their children? I thought I had seem a list at some point, but cannot put my hands on it now. I'm imagining the questions would only be slightly different from the standard ACE questionnaire and simply frame for children. For example, "has anyone in your child's home been incarcerated?"
Thank you,
Lee

The Center for Youth Wellness has published its screening tool, which comprises questions that parents answer about their children. You just have to fill out a form with your name and basic info, and you can access it and the questionnaire for teens:
Thanks, Jane!
I believe there is also a "Users Guide" for the World Health Organization's ACE International Questionaire-both of which can be accessed at the WHO website, too. WHO used it in their 2013 assessment of the world's healthiest children.
Thank you, Robert!
Hello Lee,
In the Child Trends Research Brief July 2014's Adverse Childhood Experiences: National and State-Level Prevalence you can find 8 ACE statements provided to parents and caregivers across the US to determine ACE scores in all 50 states.
I have used this for parents involved in DHS to better understand the trauma that their children went through prior to and including DHS involvement.
Hello,
We use the exact same questions, but simply change the stem, to read, "Since your child was born..."
Plus the NEAR at Home, Home Visiting Kit gives great advice about language to use.
The National Survey of Children's Health as 9 ACE questions for parents: http://childhealthdata.org/lea...cs-and-questions#sqI
The items are identified ACE1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
