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

Jennifer, sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I submitted oral & written testimony to the Vermont Legislative Trauma Commission in Oct. 2000. During the 2013 Vermont legislative session, House Bill 762, requiring ALL health care providers in Vermont to screen for ACEs, had one of it's eight sections pass. One Vermont ACEsConnection member, that I knew of, was working on how to phrase the questions, and I don't know if gender specific, or age specific, or what eventually came out of that process.

Some years ago, my Primary Care provider, in New Hampshire, had a computerized trauma questionaire, administered by a dual resident (Psych & Internal Med) which reportedly originated with Stan Rosenberg, M.D. at NH Dartmouth Psychiatric Research. At least two NH Dartmouth Psych Research staff are also members of ACEsConnection, and could probably advise of its status. Also, the (VA) National Center for PTSD Library in White River Junction, Vt., reportedly the best collection of PILOTS (Published International Literature On Traumatic Stress) in the world, has an assortment of clinician assessment tools, on line, at their website. Since they are "affiliated" with Dartmouth.edu they may have ready access to the 2000 Rosenberg version, and their library may have critiques on its use. I don't know if they have the ACE screening tool adopted by the World Health Organization-which WHO used in their 2013 assessment of the World's Healthiest Children. WHO also recently screened Turkish College Students for ACEs, and may have used something different for college age. WHO's website has a report on the Turkish college Student ACE screening. Feel free to "[private] DIALOG" me for the names of particular ACEsConnection members noted above.
