Who's integrating ACEs?

The Center for Youth Wellness Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, 2015
Description: The CYW Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (CYW ACE-Q) was developed through the Bayview Child Health Center partnership. The Questionnaire is free, but you must complete a quick, online form to gain access.

Section 2 of the Questionnaire includes seven (CYW ACE-Q Child) or nine (CYW ACE-Q Teen and CYW ACE-Q Teen SR) additional ACEs assessing for exposure to additional early life stressors that were identified by experts and community stakeholders. These items are hypothesized to also lead to disruption of the neuro-endocrine-immune axis, but are not yet correlated with population level data about risk of disease. They include involvement in the foster care system; bullying; loss of parent or guardian due to death, deportation or migration; medical trauma; exposure to community violence; and discrimination due to race, sexual orientation, place of birth, disability or religion.

Dr. Ariane Marie-Mitchell led the development of this survey at Loma Linda University (amariemitchell@llu.edu).

The Montefiore Medical Group Team Patient Screening Tool
Description: The Montefioire Medical Group Team uses an optional patient screening tool to identify the number of stressful events to which a child is exposed and help prevent or lower the risk for health problems in child patients. The same questions as those in the CDC-Kaiser assessment are asked, though the question stem language is adapted to read, "Since your child was born..."
