PACEs and the Social Sciences

PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.

From SAPIENS: What Makes Vaccines Social?

Dennis Haffron ·
A potential resolution is on the horizon, but for COVID-19 vaccination to work, people need to be willing to take the vaccines. Like many social scientists working in the fields of vaccine uptake and disaster response and recovery, we anticipated that widespread acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines would be a critical issue—an issue upon which the success of the vaccination campaign, and the solution to the pandemic, would hinge. That is what we are now seeing today.

I understood the point though! It would be super interesting to see a version of the Three Realms of ACEs document that includes a variety of positives of each of those areas!

Thank you for your comment. The information on slide 11 was an attempt by me to bridge the gap between the ACEs study and the trauma informed responses that have developed. In Dr. Burke Harris’ Ted Talk she focused on the predictability of ACEs for individuals, which is not supported by the ACEs study, and her idea of ACEs becoming a movement, which was more in line with the ACEs study. When following up on her Ted Talk and in reading her book THE DEEPEST WELL I was able to follow her...
