The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released in early November, 2019 the ACEs Vital Signs report. This report provides the first U.S. estimates of how preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (including child maltreatment) and associated trauma has the potential to reduce chronic diseases, risky health behavior, and socioeconomic challenges. This study examines ACEs in 25 states between 2015-2017.
CDC has created a page full of information about the ACE Study and strategies to prevent and mitigate the impact of ACEs—it includes videos, info graphics, and ideas for health care providers, employers, states and communities, and all individuals.
In that section of the CDC website, the following resources can be accessed:
