Reply to "Building the case for change: Surveying primary care practices in trauma screening"

Great point!  For clarity, we do not advocate that we ask parents/adults in family unit about their child's ACE score.  When it comes to children, preventative interventions targeting  communities and populations are the approach being rolled out by Health Depts and DOJs. We are looking at asking adults, given the evidence that treating trauma reduces physical illness and reduces utilization of resources, and our impression that we do not screen for trauma exposure currently.  We want to know if that impression is true and if so why.  Expect similar results to what has been show in the IPV literature.  This type of survey is a necessary step toward developing trauma care reources.
