Very interesting findings! Looks like you have a somewhat traumatized yet resilient group. We have found in our training sessions with health professionals that having a high ACE score can often help to understand patient's situations - but can be a hindrance when the clinician has a negative attitude towards patients/clients who are struggling with maladaptive behaviors and poor health - the attitude of "I pulled my self up by my own bootstraps so why can't you?" More study needed about how clinicians own ACEs affect how they work with patients with ACEs.
(BTW - the more commonly quoted percent of participants with ACE of 4 or more in the Felitti and Anda study is 12% - included both waves of the study. See the CDC website data at https://www.cdc.gov/violencepr.../acestudy/about.html)
