Russell, I'm in the camp that is very cautious about this topic. At ChildWise Institute we do a lot of ACE Trainings through our ACE Interface Master Trainer Program. We have 18 trainers across our entire state of Montana and have trained about 7,000 people in the last year and a half. We use the ACE Survey in our presentations because the training has the brain science of toxic stress, the ACE Study, and resilience strategies. We never let people walk away with the Survey, or hand it out for distribution... we always collect them and tell people not to put their names on the sheets. ChildWise Institute is collecting data on ACE scores in Montana. Through a movement that ChildWise started in 2013 called Elevate Montana, we do have the 10-question ACE Survey on our website (www.WhatsYourACEscore.com) but also with context, the appropriate "cautions", and the Resilience Survey. I advocate that the ACE Survey should never be handed out or put on any website without proper context. And to me, any app that is just the 10-question survey for people to get their ACE score without proper context is irresponsible.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
