The adverse childhood experiences checklist: Can it serve as a clinical and quality indicator?

Abstract: Aim There is strong evidence that adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with poor short‐, medium‐ and long‐term health outcomes. In South Western Sydney, we trialled a modified ACE checklist in community paediatric clinics. Our aim was to design the best version of the ACE checklist for routine clinical use to serve as both a clinical and quality indicator. Methods We trialled two versions of the modified ACE checklist based on a pre‐existing tool in child development (CD) and vulnerable child (VC… Show more

“… 1 Approximately 61% of adults report having experienced ACE, 2 with higher prevalence rates reported in priority populations. 3 In particular, First Nations people have been shown to experience higher rates of ACE 4 5 which has been attributed to collective, historic and intergenerational trauma and continued experiences of racism. 5 6 …”

“…An EMR-generated checklist could be used to automatically identify vulnerability. 29 Referrals for those children identified as vulnerable were predominantly to mental health and child protective services, with few to social work. There is a large body of evidence for various therapeutic interventions 30 but paediatrician knowledge and limited access to services might have affected referral patterns in this cohort.…”

“…Open access circumstances in Australia. [12][13][14] Whereas research into ACEs and adult mental health has necessarily been largely retrospective, there is increasing interest in behavioural and emotional problems in children whose ACEs may be ongoing. Much research on ACEs in childhood has looked at the combined effects of abuse, neglect and household stressors 1 10 11 15 ; instead, this paper focuses on possible associations between mental health symptomatology in childhood and household stressor ACEs in the absence of apparent abuse and neglect.…”
