Reply to "Administering ACE questionnaire in a clinical setting"

I coordinate a jail based substance abuse program and we use ACE for both our substance use disorder program and our trauma, addiction and mental health program. We use the ACE in the individual assessment for people entering our SUD program and in a group orientation for our TAMAR Project.

We discuss the research finding with the group as a whole, without asking individual members to disclose their score. Very useful tool in looking at who may need a more in-depth assessment for trauma. Individuals are surprised to see some of the correlations between behavioral health issues and their scores- in a way, normalizing (not the best word) their reactions/behaviors.

Great way to get the conversation started as well.
