Reply to "Information and tips wanted in starting an ace-survey in schools in the Netherlands"

     When Vermont introduced legislation [house Bill 762] requiring all Vermont Health Care providers to screen for ACEs, of all patients-regardless of age, concern was raised about the phrasing of questions...And one of our ACEs Connection members in Vermont was tasked with developing suitable phrasing, et cetera. She may be able to offer some input into what, if any, screening is done in schools, possibly by school nurses.

The World Health Organization's [modified] ACE screening tool, which they used in their 2013 assessment of the world's healthiest children, has Eighteen basic questions, [rather than the ten in our CDC/Kaiser ACE study], with "sub-questions", and is available on their website. That 2013 WHO survey identified the nation with the world's healthiest children as The Netherlands. Scandinavia followed, ...the U.S. was 25th, and Canada was 26th.
