Identification of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Pediatric Health Care

Universal ACE screening in pediatric health care has been recognized as a way to systematically notice risk and protective factors and create interventions to attend to mental and physical health problems. In pediatric clinical care, adverse childhood experiences can be identified through surveillance and psychosocial/behavioral assessments from newborn to adulthood. Additionally, self-report questionnaires are available to screen youth for potential trauma.
