As I mentioned in last week’s roundup, we’ll start to populate the new Resource Center next month. One of the sections lists all the ACE surveys. We’ll include those with the original 10 questions as well as those surveys that ask some, but not all of the ACE questions. We will also include ACE surveys that have additional questions. But we will also put those expanded surveys in a separate list, as we explained last week. Here goes:
There’s the grandaddy of them all — the original CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE Study), and the more than 70 publications that have resulted from the ACE Study. (Dr. Felitti has some others than haven’t been posted on the CDC ACE Study site yet; we’ll include those in our list.)
There are the ACE surveys that U.S. states, cities and counties have done:
Thirty-two states have done ACE surveys through their BRFSSs (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Systems). Here’s the map of the states (btw, you can embed the map by going here — https://shar.es/1lXRDW). And here’s a link to the state reports.
One city and one county that we know of have done ACE surveys — Philadelphia and Shelby County (Memphis), TN, both of which asked additional ACEs questions.
There are the ACE surveys that have been done in other nations:
There are the ACE surveys that have been done on particular populations, such as:
Survey of adverse childhood experiences among Romanian university students
Adverse childhood experiences survey among university students in Turkey (2014)
2011/2012 National Survey of Children’s Health on Adverse Childhood Experiences in (U.S.) children
Summary of Results: Crittenton Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) 2012 Pilot
The Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) in the Lives of Juvenile Offenders
We will be creating a separate list for research done on the specific health consequences of ACEs in particular populations; here are examples:
Adverse childhood experiences and mental health in young adults: a longitudinal survey
If you have surveys and research on ACEs in the categories above that you’d like us to include, please list them in the comments.
Thanks so much!!
