Pediatricians who screen for ACEs-- ask kids, caregivers, or both?

Hi all,

  Looking for feedback regarding the ways in which pediatric practices incorporate ACE screening.  Specifically, I'm interested in whether the child, parent/caretaker, or both are asked the about the typical ACEs.  I have developed a pictorial trauma assessment tool that has received great feedback regarding the way the pictorial format opened things up for children, and am now working on a pictorial-based ACE questionnaire which would allow pediatricians and other practitioners to quickly gather data directly from the child in a way that is developmentally appropriate (while also controlling for the potential impact of trauma hx on executive functioning).

  Anyway, I'd love to hear from you about your experiences with attempting to gather ACE data directly from children, or any possible barriers to doing so.  Feel free to respond here or email me: jaboyle84@gmail.com.

 

Thanks, everyone!
