Paul, I had all the intentions in the world in reading "Degrees in Freedom..." After reading the first two pages at my dyslexic snails pace, I had to stop. I would never get that part of my life back. It reads like a legal document.
"A preregistration should also be exhaustive because the stipulation that one will test Hypothesis A in a certain way does not preclude the possibility that one can also test Hypothesis B in the study. Therefore, for confirmatory aspects of the study, the word “only” is key (e.g., “we will test only Hypothesis A in the following unique manner”).
Connecting the dots for my patients in the field as an Emergency Medical Technician has been the most rewarding part of my 40 year career. People are frustrated with the medical community that has more pharmaceutical remedies than face time. https://www.pacesconnection.com/...-emotional-first-aid
I do see the pit falls of "If you build it, they will come" The ER I frequent the most knows the least about ACES. I had to slow myself down. The inequity in knowledge and practice of ACES would have never been exposed unless I first asked the question "Have you ever heard about ACES?" ERs might of heard about Trauma Informed Care, but it ends there.

Community Resilience building is working across the nation with plenty of examples. I will be attending a two-day seminar in March on this subject.
I have had the silence of shame reveal itself many times. The second rape of a minor was exposed because she was given an opportunity to read the ACE survey. A male in his 30's tells me he was sodomized at 16 when I asked what age did he start smoking. When I told him of the stats from the original ACE study of one out of six males were sexually abused, there was a sense of relief about his presence. He wanted to know more. I can go on with more awareness moments. What I do know is that people need help now.
My kids gave me a T-shirt for Christmas. "ACES IN YOUR FACES"
