Definition of ACEs • “Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that can have negative, lasting effects on health and wellbeing. These experiences range from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse to parental divorce or the incarceration of a parent or guardian. ” Felitti VJ, Anda RF, Nordenberg D, et al. Relationship of childhood abuse and household dysfunction to the many leading causes of death in adults: The Adverse Childhood Experiences. Am J Prev Med. 1998; 14(4): 245 -258. 4

The first ACEs study • First comprehensive retrospective study of early childhood exposure to potential adverse experiences and subsequent health outcomes. • Kaiser patients whose medical records were available for review were surveyed. • Surveys were sent to almost 13, 500 Kaiser members and close to 10, 000 responded. • Responses were grouped into 7 categories of exposure: • Abuse (3)…. Psychological abuse Physical abuse Sexual abuse • Household (4)… Substance abuse in a parent Mental illness in a parent Intimate partner violence (IPV) toward the mother Criminal behavior/incarceration Felitti VJ, Anda RF, Nordenberg D, et al. Am J Prev Med. 1998; 14(4): 245 -258. 5

The ACEs study continued • 10 significant health risk factors: • Morbid obesity - Physical inactivity - Depressed mood – Suicide attempts • Smoking - Alcoholism – Any drug abuse – Parenteral (IV) drug abuse • High lifetime number of sexual partners (>50) – History of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) • 8 specific conditions in the respondents: • • Ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction or nitroglycerin use) Any cancer Stroke Chronic bronchitis Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Diabetes Hepatitis/Jaundice Skeletal fractures Felitti VJ, Anda RF, Nordenberg D, et al. Am J Prev Med. 1998; 14(4): 245 -258. 6

ACEs study results • Patients scored on a 0 -7 scale on the ACE survey – one for each category of exposure • More than half had at least 1 exposure and a quarter had 2 or more exposures • Compared to individuals with scores of 0, individuals with a score of 4 or more had: • 4 fold to 12 fold increase chances for alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, and suicide attempts • 2 fold to 4 fold increased in smoking, poor self-rated health, >50 sexual partners, and STI • 1. 4 fold to 1. 6 fold increase in physical inactivity and severe obesity Felitti VJ, Anda RF, Nordenberg D, et al.

Child abuse and neglect • Health care providers, teachers and certain licensed professionals in ALL states are required to report suspected child abuse and/or neglect • Since 1974 states have been mandated to establish a mechanism to investigate these reports, and the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1988 established federal funding for states for prevention, assessment, investigation, prosecution and treatment endeavors • Each state has it’s own child protection service and providers need to know the contact information for their particular state to report possible child endangerment Child Welfare Information Gateway.

ACEs and cardiovascular disease (CVD) • Another 2015 review looked at ACEs and CVD

ACEs and cardiovascular disease (CVD) • Another 2015 review looked at ACEs and CVD risk • Systematic review of studies that demonstrated: • A linear trend with # of ACEs for confirmed CVD in almost 24, 000 patients • Early childhood maltreatment was associated with early-onset CVD in women – the review included almost 67, 000 patients • Exposure to 4 or more ACEs in almost 54, 000 patients was associated with higher chances of CVD compared to 0 ACEs • Smoking rates were increased in individuals with higher ACE scores • Childhood abuse, residential mobility, household dysfunction, and parental divorce appeared to be independent risks for smoking regardless of SES measures such as level of educational attainment and/or employment in adulthood Su S, Jimenez MP, Roberts CTF and Loucks EB.

Inflammation and premature mortality • A study of patients 51 to 95 years old

Inflammation and premature mortality • A study of patients 51 to 95 years old examined levels of expression of three proinflammatory genes and exposure to childhood trauma, childhood low SES, and childhood health as well as adult trauma and low SES in adulthood showed that only childhood trauma was associated with increased inflammatory transcription in adulthood which was further exacerbated by low SES in adulthood. • A follow-up study looked at more than 17, 000 individuals assessing 8 ACE exposure categories (abuse, DV, separation/divorce, mental illness, substance abuse or incarcerated parent) from 1995 -1997 and then reassessed in 2006 for causes of death. • ACE scores of 6 or more were associated with an average death 20 years earlier compared to a score of 0 • These very high risk adults were 1. 7 times more likely to die under the age of 75 and 2. 4 times more likely to die before age 65 compared to their low scoring counterparts Levine ME, Cole SW, Weir DR and Crimmins EM.

Evolving framework exploring the impact of toxic stress across the lifespan • Transient exposure

Evolving framework exploring the impact of toxic stress across the lifespan • Transient exposure to stress with release of stress hormones is welltolerated, but chronic stress can be toxic to the developing brain and organs • Intergenerational perpetuation of adverse exposures may be further exacerbated by poorer educational achievement and poverty • Unhealthy behaviors are a means of coping with stress • This is the “solution” the individual finds to cope when few external or internal resources are available • This, as well as lower access to medical care, can lead to increased risk for chronic disease and early mortality Shonkoff JP et. al.

Defining the problem ACEs: • Can have lasting adverse effects on health and can affect anyone • May disproportionately impact children living in poverty • May be considered social determinants of health and may underlie health disparities in some communities • Result in consequences not simply stemming from health-related behaviors • Are therefore NOT strictly a social dilemma • Are medical problems and, as healthcare providers, we need to take this on and own it • Significantly impact both child and adult health 23

Resilience can mitigate the impact of ACEs • In this study, children were assessed by their teachers whether or not they exhibited the quality of resilience and then assessed for their school performance • Comparisons were then made among children who scored 0, 1 or 2+ points on the ACE survey • Increasing risks for emotional, mental health or behavioral issues were noted with increasing ACE scores across the board • However, for each ACE score (0, 1 or 2+), resilient children demonstrated: • Less absenteeism • More classroom engagement • Less need to repeat a grade Sege R, Bethell C, Linkenback J et al.

Summary • ACEs are potentially traumatic events that can have negative, lasting effects on health and well-being across the lifespan • Providers within the medical home can use knowledge about ACEs to better care for patients who have significant exposures and mitigate the risk for disease • Trauma-informed care focuses on recognizing the impact of trauma and avoiding re-traumatization with a safe, trustworthy, clinical environment that encourages self-efficacy, collaboration, and empowerment • Resilience can mitigate the potential impact of ACEs, and as more evidence accumulates about the power of resilience, additional resources may become available 32
