Hi Christy,

I am completing my dissertation research in which I used the 4-item PC-PTSD in combination with the 10-item ACEs questionnaire to assess safety-net patient preferences to discuss trauma exposure and symptoms with their PCC in an integrated care clinic.  A DSM-5 revised version of the PC-PTSD has been developed and is undergoing validation and will  be available when validated at: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/profess.../screens/pc-ptsd.asp  

Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss further.

best wishes,  Ellen

 

Hi, we've been using that form for our work helping veterans with combat PTSD obtain relief.  Our Veterans Stress Project used the VA forms specifically as we wanted more VA adoption of these highly effective and rapid results we get through Tapping.  As a Master Trainer, it's important to me that I reach out to many in the positions you're talking about, i.e., those who serve traumatized populations as well as their clients.  Happy to talk with anyone about this; thanks for this forum.  Jondi Whitis

Would love to hear more about that, Ellen. Kudos to you. - Jondi

Hello all,

Have we decided on a time/format to have a community discussion about administering ACEs questionnaires in a primary care setting? I am being asked to present a web-based training to potentially 300+ providers in our region next month, and would really like some perspective on this from this community. Any thoughts on how to effectively administer this in a PCP setting (especially for those who aren't necessarily mental health providers).

Thanks!

A few days ago, I ran across a two-page 8-10 question paper screening questionaire my old primary care provider used in 2006, shortly after Dartmouth took over the formerly independent Family Practice clinic---I also recall a  computerized screening tool I also had "administered" to me about that time, which I believe was developed by Stanley Rosenberg, at Dartmouth Psychiatric Research (just across the river from the NCPTSD Exec Division at the White River Junction, Vermont VA). The companion screen I remember was computerized, and administered by a Dartmouth "Dual Resident" (Internal Medicine & Psychiatry), at the [Lyme,N.H.] Family Practice Clinic.

Keith (& Ellen), Vermont's state legislature and at least one of our ACEsConnection members in Vermont wrestled with a similar question, following a 2013 House Bill (762) requiring ALL Vt. health care providers to screen All patients-regardless of age, for ACEs.
