American College of Preventative Medicine 's article challenging ACE research and practices

Would appreciate members response to this article and the article it cites, which  seems to challenge some current practices and the research they are based on.

"While the authors endorse surveillance and research around childhood adversity, they recommend against screening for adverse childhood experiences in individual clinical encounters."

"Much of the psy-discipline’s current understanding of ACE comes from the CDC-Kaiser ACE Study, an extensive investigation of the repercussions of childhood abuse and neglect. The present research is partly an attempt to implement those findings into healthcare protocols. While some authors have lamented that we have not incorporated the lessons from this research into societal care, others argue that the data is essentially unusable as the survey score does not correlate with trauma effects (among other problems)."
