Title: Improving ACE survey
Post by: tigrlily61 on June 15, 2025, 03:56:11 PM
Hi

Does anyone know of any initiative to improve the Adverse Childhood Experiences survey?  I ask because there are obvious omissions (like medical trauma, trauma arising from discrimination – racism, homophobia, ableism – the effects of war and displacement/migration, and many more). Just curious.
be well

not that I know of. if it gives any hope etc, I participated in a complex trauma survey (zoom interview) I found on reddit a few months ago. ACEs absolutely need to be updated, and I think the field is gradually shifting.
