A pilot study was conducted in 2014, which demonstrated a significant correlation between ACE scores and receipt of SSDI (Social Security Disability Income).  To my knowledge, this correlation had not previously been demonstrated.  An attachment of the results via a poster session is attached.  I wonder if you or anyone you know in the research field would be interested in using these results to help obtain funding to conduct this study on a larger scale.  As of now, receipt of SSDI is not factored into the CDC's yearly numbers of the cost to society of child maltreatment.  A larger study could add a significant piece of information to this yearly tally, with SSDI payments exceeding $145 billion in 2014 alone.  The original goal of conducting this pilot was to expose this correlation so as to inform policy makers about the extreme importance of funding prevention/early intervention policies when it comes to ACE.

Couldn't you just look at the ACES study results matching illness categories with ACE Scores, then look at the overall illness categories represented on the disability rolls? Both those number sets already exist.

Ie., the #1 leading cause of disability is musculoskeletal issues, ie, back pain. Most of this stuff should have been fixed by physical therapy but instead people just got opiates. Hence the heroin epidemic. And of course people with high ACE scores were more likely to get addicted to those opiates or use in non-safe patterns.

The #2 cause of disability is psychiatric labels MadInAmerica.com has lots of data showing that again, this a lot of this disability is caused by drugging people for fixable life situations.
