Are your local pediatricians asking about ACEs?

It's no wonder that the Resilience film "featured" the developing interest and work of Nadine Burke Harris, when one considers some recent disturbing news.

I get weekly PubMed updates related to the effects of childhood trauma -- btw easily done!  and in the latest found a study with Bonnie Kerker from New York University School of Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26530850 which found that only 4% of pediatricians usually asked about all 7 ACEs; 32% did not usually ask about any. These results came from experienced medicos too! gulp!! (302 nontrainee pediatricians exclusively practicing general pediatrics).  Food for thought!  No wonder I thought Dr Nadine was awesome.

Anyone reckon doctors in their locales might be better? (so far as I know the study's results were across the nation as a whole).
