Re: How do you go about getting an ACE study for your State? We need one In Michigan!!!
By "ACEs Study," do you mean the full-blown type of study conducted by Drs. Felitti and Anda? Or do you mean collection of the ACEs data for your state? If it's the former, I don't know. If it's the latter, I can offer some suggestions. Your public health department would be lthe place to start. They conduct the yearly behavioral risk factor surveillance system surveys, and they would have to add the ACE module to their survey.

I just found out the Children's Trust Fund provided the Money and the ACE questions were added to the Behavioral Risk Survey in 2013. The CDC has to approve the data and then The Children's Trust Fund of Michigan and DHS Michigan will approve letting the data to the public. Thanks Every one. It sounds like in 1 or 2 months (maybe sooner we will have our state ACE data). Hooray!!!

Re: Maryland State BRFSS Data
Brenda, I admire your doggedness in pursuing this-you've been after basic data for years! I too would like ACEs info regarding Maryland. Here on the eastern shore we are finally having what I believe is our first, open to the public, training/presentation on trauma and ACEs: Sept. 13, 6-8pm, Easton, HS. 'Healing Neen' will be shown and 'Neen' will speak. For more info contact Talbot Co. DSS. Jonathan Williams
