"Existing research on childhood adversity and health risk across the lifespan lacks specificity regarding which types of exposures to assess and when. The purpose of this study was to contribute to an empirically-supported framework to guide practitioners interested in identifying youth who may be at greatest risk for a lifelong trajectory of health disparities. We also sought to identify the point in childhood at which screening for adversity exposure would capture the largest group of at...

Is this article available to be posted? I cannot access via the link thanks! Carmela

never mind. found it at the library! thanks for sharing! great forum! As a Principal Investigator on an NIHCD funded grant to develop a screening instrument for children at risk this is especially timely! working on first paper for our tool now- happy to share more if folks are interested. anyone working internationally on screening kids? I'd love to chat. contact me at cj@artemisassoc.com Carmela

Is there a link that goes directly to the Journal article ?

Hi Carmela, I fixed the link to the abstract. I am so glad that you were able to get a copy of the article and that you're reaching out to the community. (As is unfortunately the case for many studies, the full text articles are not freely available online.) I'd love to hear more about what sort of tool you're developing for at risk children. I'll reach out to you at the email address you provided.

Dear Audrey, What a terrific summary and highlighting of the major points about ACEs, including the often minimized risk for autoimmune and other chronic diseases. Congrats on this huge success of getting ACEs in front of family docs and other primary care providers. I'm so thrilled to see it and am sharing on my chronic illness trauma blog and FB page and more!!

By Ryan White, Center for Health Journalism, July 23, 2020 Harvard’s Jack Shonkoff, a luminary in the field of early childhood, has spent years showing that events in the earliest years of life have profound implications for how budding brains develop, and in turn, shape a child’s later potential at school and work. Now, Shonkoff says it’s time to connect the brain to the rest of the body. “The message now is to say that there is a revolution going on in molecular biology and genomics and in...

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!
