Dr. Shandi Fuller recalls that when she first assembled an all-staff meeting at the Solano County Family Health Services to show how equity and ACEs screening should go hand in hand, some staff members were bewildered. “Why are we talking about equity?” they asked. As Fuller explained to attendees at “A Better Normal,” an ACEs Connection webinar on Oct. 13, the question led her and a colleague to develop training for medical providers on this concept. The webinar was also based on extensive...

Criticizing ACEs in Peer Reviewed Professional Journals Impairs Child Abuse Treatment Jeoffry B. Gordon, MD, MPH May 23, 2021 As a family doc practicing in San Diego I was privileged to hear Dr. Vincent Felitti talk about his inspired development of the ACEs questionnaire and its association with many adult mental and physical diseases directly from him only a few years after his original insight. Yet, although I had a lively clinic and learned how to manage a vast array of medical...

Bravo! This will be a very useful tool for those of us who interact with ACEs/PACEs hesitant health care professionals. Thank you!

The ACPM continues the high-minded academic tradition of castigating clinical research that does not meet precise research standards developed for biochemical pathophysiology and its treatment. In doing so it creates barriers to needed and overdue clinical intervention in a major behavioral pandemic with huge consequences for individual health and society. This policy statement impedes, impairs and delays attention to ACES, PACES, childhood abuse and neglect in the clinic as well as omits...

I'm pleased parenting education was mentioned.

A just-published article reports that the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) recommends against pediatric ACE screening but strongly supports continuing surveillance of ACEs along with protective factors in the population as a way to identify public health and other policies that can prevent adversity and toxic stress. Their report highlights Dr. Robert Anda’s (and colleagues) commentary that notes that ACE scores are neither a diagnostic tool nor predictive at the individual...

In reading the ACPM report, I feel like the headline here on the PACEs site is a bit misleading. Yes, they recommend against ACE screening, but they do seem to provide fuel for advancing PACEs awareness within the health care system. That said, I definitely share Jeoffry's frustration on how the medical establishment is way too focused on having studies that meet strict evidence-based guidelines. And in this report, the authors probably feel like they are being supportive of addressing...

You know on the surface I could agree with you, but if you go a bit deeper: It is a bit trying to solve a clinical problem ignoring the rules of trauma informed care. First you ask "What's wrong? What do you need? How can I help?" One does not engage by criticizing, pointing out faults, and generally concluding you fell short and your behavior and attitude could even be harmful or dangerous!
