A pilot study was conducted in 2014, which demonstrated a significant correlation between ACE scores and receipt of SSDI (Social Security Disability Income). To my knowledge, this correlation had not previously been demonstrated. An attachment of the results via a poster session is attached. I wonder if you or anyone you know in the research field would be interested in using these results to help obtain funding to conduct this study on a larger scale. As of now, receipt of SSDI is not factored into the CDC's yearly numbers of the cost to society of child maltreatment. A larger study could add a significant piece of information to this yearly tally, with SSDI payments exceeding $145 billion in 2014 alone. The original goal of conducting this pilot was to expose this correlation so as to inform policy makers about the extreme importance of funding prevention/early intervention policies when it comes to ACE.
