I am a high school intervention counselor work both school counselor and LPC credentials. I would like to know ACE scores for our campus population. We are at approximately 2,050 students currently. An electronic, anonymous survey seems to make the most sense, but I have concerns about provoking a massive response based on the potential for triggering students with the question content. Has anyone done a survey like this? Curious about the means, data collection, on-site support needed, etc.? I like the CYW Teen Self-Report format that presents the 10 ACE statements but just asks those being surveyed to indicate their score without being required to check which specific ones apply to them (But allowing, if they want to be specific). And I thought offering an option to self-identify and request counselor follow-up might also be a good idea.
My school is a Title I school, and I expect the true numbers to skew very high.
Also, would surveying the students without parent permission present any ethical concerns, if offered anonymously?
