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

As far as the above post, I would be very Leary of the cairns resilience screener for the pediatric office I think that has a lot of problems associated with it.

If you look in the comments on this blog by Jane you can get my approach. For adolescents we are supposed to be giving them in private the HEADSSS screener you can google it or Minnesota dept of health has it also. These screeners all get into deeper stuff but unless the doc is supposed to be a plumber, we have to do this.

Here is HEADSSS (Dr. Rosen, now passed on, was my med school adolescent prof --- he stressed the Headsss screening and as I have a high ACE score I always thought it very important to use but as you ask some of these questions it is easy to put in the ace questions for example if an adolescent is suicidal why? Or is there violence at home - have you ever been hurt physically, sexually or emotionally by someone close to you? There are lots of ways to get at this.
