Finding the Missing ACEs: The ACEs research by Drs. Felitti, Anda and colleagues has spawned a growing and influential social movement on behalf of trauma-informed practices and institutions. However, the ACEs research misses entirely the social contexts of households such as extreme poverty and racism that can themselves create toxic stress. Broader measures of adversity can provide a more accurate picture of the varying likelihood of toxic stress among children in differ by race, class and geographic location.

As ACEs science goes (particularly social science) the initial studies by Drs. Felitti, Anda and colleagues where only a beginning. Dr. McEwen's work illustrates the need for more systematic social science research. This research is necessary to reach a full understanding of ACEs science as it impacts anthropology, sociology, and Psychology.

Thank you for the link! I keep hearing rumblings about United Way prioritizing ACEs in various states or communities. I wonder if there is any plan for a national initiative by United Way to pull resources around a shared goal that focuses on ACEs? Thoughts? Karen
