ACEs - Adverse Childhood Experiences
what are ACEs? - traumatic experiences that have a long term impact on health by causing
continuous "fight or flight" reactions in the body
what do ACEs measure? - Adverse Childhood Experiences
Abuse, neglect, intimate partner violence between parents, substance abuse, household mental
illness, divorce or incarcerated household member
what do ACEs uncover? - high risk of health problems
what are some adverse health outcomes from abuse or neglect? - -disrupted
neurodevelopment
-social, emotional, and cognitive impairment
-adoption of health risk behavior
-impacts on life potential
-disease disability, and social problems
-early death
does an ACE test screen for trauma? - no, it is meant to measure ACEs that is it
with four or more categories of childhood exposure, compared to adults with no ACEs... -
-4-12 times increase in alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, and suicide attempt
-2 to 4 times increase in poor self-rated health
-3 to 4 times increase in chronic illness
, what does toxic stress do to people? - toxic stress during childhood can harm the most
basic levels of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and that such exposures can even
alter the physical structure of DNA (epigenetic effects).
positive stress - mild/moderate and short-lived stress response necessary for healthy
development
tolerable stress - more severe stress response but limited in duration which allows for
recovery
toxic stress - extreme, frequent, or extended activation of the body's stress response
without the buffering presence of a supportive adult.
when doing prevention and intervention work do we only look at child's experiences? -
no, we also look at parent and think about their needs for intervention/prevention based on
ACEs score.
how many people report having no ACEs? - 38%
how many people report having one ACE? - 21%
how many people report having two ACEs? - 14%
how many people report having three ACEs? - 10%
how many people report having 4-5 ACEs? - 17%
