PACEs in Pediatrics

Hello!

I'm looking for research on the validity of the ACE screening tool or a modified ACE screener to use in our clinic. Also, we are wanting to screen all adult patients and then eventually want to start with pediatric patients. Regarding pediatrics, are there any data supporting a specific methodology? For instance, we were thinking of having parents complete it for birth to 11 and then having 12 to 17 year olds complete their own. Any research and/or thoughts on this is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

The review process for the revision of our Whole Child Assessment (WCA) is taking a little longer than ideal.  Version 2 is for age 0-20 years with the parent completing for age 0-12.  We also have validation data that we are currently preparing for publication.  I hope to have version 2 available via email or website by October 1.
 
For adults, there are different options depending upon other workflow in your clinic.  I'd consider starting with Dr. Felitti's 1-page screening tool.  We have a version of this that adds questions about resilient behaviors and is intended for parents about their experiences, but could be used in a adult clinic setting too (PACER, Parent ACEs and Resilience).  Although solidly grounded in the literature, we haven't validated this tool yet.
